The batch sizes were huge!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Anyway!
Odit dolor officiis cupiditate doloribus repellendus culpa ullam.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
How much should one budget to travel for 1 month generally?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on 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.
Why do I get stressed when I go to bed?
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
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 ..

And..
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I did not go back to my home.
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.

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 was constantly staring into the ground
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
What do you like the most about black people?
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.

What can help me fall asleep at night?
All the best!
Keep your ego aside.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Why do I feel bad when I see white girls dating black guys, am I racist?
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I looked around me
But, then it hit me hard.
All achievers in their own way.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
It is almost impossible.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I vividly remember that evening.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Found an empty bench..
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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, I had not made it.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Worked for a marketing agency
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
