Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Dropped them
Cleared multiple of them
What are the ways in which the human body adapts to different climates and heat?
It is almost impossible.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Keep your ego aside.
And, I had not made it.
I vividly remember that evening.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Found an empty bench..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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 was the worst spanking you got growing up?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Why do some people enjoy being dominated?
Anyway!
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.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
All the best!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
But, then it hit me hard.
How do you fight the push and pull (manipulation) tactic if you want to win him?
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
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.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Searched for my roll number.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Why do I like to eat my own cum?
I was alone in Delhi back then
The batch sizes were huge!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I did not go back to my home.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I was constantly staring into the ground
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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And entered the park.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Worked for a marketing agency
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“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).”
And..
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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).
“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.”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Your credentials do not matter!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All achievers in their own way.
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…
