I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“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.”
Found an empty bench..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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.

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

Your credentials do not matter!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I vividly remember that evening.
Worked for a marketing agency
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It is almost impossible.
“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).”
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Searched for my roll number.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
The batch sizes were huge!
