Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

All achievers in their own way.

What's your favorite stupid joke?

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…

Dropped them

Your credentials do not matter!

I looked around me

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Do you have any opinion on Japanese writer/actor Yukio Mishima?

Searched for my roll number.

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

“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.

I was alone in Delhi back then

I vividly remember that evening.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

As a friend of Megan's who also watches Suits, would you advise her not to return to the show in order to protect her character's reputation?

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

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.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

Why is India lagging behind China in economic development when India is a democracy while China isn’t?

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

And, I had not made it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And..

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

All the best!

Keep your ego aside.

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.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

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

Anyway!

Cleared multiple of them

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Found an empty bench..

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I did not go back to my home.

It is almost impossible.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

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

And entered the park.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“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).”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

The batch sizes were huge!

.

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

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

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).

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

“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.”
