And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

The batch sizes were huge!

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

The 10-Year Auction and Inflation Data Could Jolt the Bond Market - Barron's

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Liberals, why don't you like Conservatives?

I did not go back to my home.

I looked around me

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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.”

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

But, then it hit me hard.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

Your credentials do not matter!

Searched for my roll number.

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.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Anyway!

Dropped them

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

And, I had not made it.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

All the best!

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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…

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Cleared multiple of them

I was constantly staring into the ground

And entered the park.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

I vividly remember that evening.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

Worked for a marketing agency

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

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).

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
