Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Searched for my roll number.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Keep your ego aside.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
How do you know if your husband loves you truly and deeply?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
But, then it hit me hard.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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).”

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Cleared multiple of them
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
Found an empty bench..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
It is almost impossible.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And, I had not made it.
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 achievers in their own way.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I looked around me
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 constantly staring into the ground
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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…
“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.”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“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.”
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
The batch sizes were huge!
Your credentials do not matter!
I did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
