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

What are some highly recommended call center projects?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Anyway!
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.
Searched for my roll number.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
The batch sizes were huge!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
But, then it hit me hard.
