Cleared multiple of them

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

And, I had not made it.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

In your opinion, what is the worst rock band in history and why do you think they gained a large following?

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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

But, then it hit me hard.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

All achievers in their own way.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

Which city should one visit between Nice and Cannes? Why?

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

Your credentials do not matter!

“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).”

What are the best free AI apps for animation?

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

The batch sizes were huge!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

And entered the park.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

“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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

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.

Anyway!

“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.”

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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.

Found an empty bench..

I vividly remember that evening.

.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

I was constantly staring into the ground

.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

And..

Dropped them

Keep your ego aside.

Searched for my roll number.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

I did not go back to my home.

I was alone in Delhi back then
