This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I vividly remember that evening.
All the best!

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).
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“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.”
“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.”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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…
Anyway!
Found an empty bench..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, I had not made it.
And entered the park.
Dropped them
Searched for my roll number.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Cleared multiple of them
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
All achievers in their own way.
I looked around me
.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
It is almost impossible.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
But, then it hit me hard.
Keep your ego aside.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Your credentials do not matter!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
