There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
But, then it hit me hard.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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).”
Do you think Putin wants peace with Ukraine, or does he want Ukraine?
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Anyway!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It is almost impossible.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And..

Why am I attracted to older men?
I was alone in Delhi back then
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
All the best!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I did not go back to my home.
Worked for a marketing agency
The batch sizes were huge!
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Found an empty bench..
“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.”
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cleared multiple of them
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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.
Searched for my roll number.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I vividly remember that evening.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
All achievers in their own way.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.
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…

Keep your ego aside.
I was constantly staring into the ground
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, I had not made it.
Dropped them
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I looked around me
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.
And entered the park.
Your credentials do not matter!
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).
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
