Last Updated: 27.06.2025 00:00
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Dropped them
Can you share 100 facts about yourself?
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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.”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

The batch sizes were huge!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
It is almost impossible.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

But, then it hit me hard.

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!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was constantly staring into the ground
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I did not go back to my home.
Searched for my roll number.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I vividly remember that evening.

Found an empty bench..
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, 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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And entered the park.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And..
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
All achievers in their own way.
All the best!
“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).”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Cleared multiple of them
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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).
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Anyway!
Keep your ego aside.
I looked around me
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
