This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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 vividly remember that evening.
Why do wives cheat on their loyal husbands?
It is almost impossible.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I did not go back to my home.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, I had not made it.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I was alone in Delhi back then
All the best!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“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.”
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.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
All achievers in their own way.
The batch sizes were huge!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Anyway!
Keep your ego aside.
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…
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling 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).
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“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).”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
