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.

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).
“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.”
Found an empty bench..

I was alone in Delhi back then
Worked for a marketing agency
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And entered the park.
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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
The batch sizes were huge!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I looked around me
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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.
Anyway!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
All achievers in their own way.
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.
Searched for my roll number.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
But, then it hit me hard.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not go back to my home.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Keep your ego aside.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, I had not made it.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
