So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I was alone in Delhi back then
All achievers in their own way.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, I had not made it.
Quis sed officia eum accusantium animi.
But, then it hit me hard.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Anyway!
Found an empty bench..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Your credentials do not matter!
“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
What is your reaction to the controversial remarks made on YouTube show "India's Got Latent"?
Keep your ego aside.
Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.
And..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not go back to my home.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
How did you as a human being change while growing up?
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
All the best!
“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”
Cleared multiple of them
It is almost impossible.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Searched for my roll number.
I vividly remember that evening.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I looked around me
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).
Worked for a marketing agency
The batch sizes were huge!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And entered the park.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Dropped them
