“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
But, then it hit me hard.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.
“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.”

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
The batch sizes were huge!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Keep your ego aside.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All achievers in their own way.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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).”

It is almost impossible.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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.
All the best!

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And, I had not made it.
And entered the park.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Cleared multiple of them
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I vividly remember that evening.
Searched for my roll number.
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).
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“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.”
Anyway!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
