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

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

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.

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

Why did lobsters evolve bright colors if they are neither poisonous nor venomous?

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Senate expected to pass crypto bill without addressing Trump’s investments - AP News

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

And entered the park.

I looked around me

Keep your ego aside.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

Why do I want to give up on men?

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

I vividly remember that evening.

I was alone in Delhi back then

What are your views on music video reactors on YouTube?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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).

Your credentials do not matter!

Was there a British ‘genocide’ of Aboriginal Australians?

It is almost impossible.

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

Anyway!

How good do you sing and how do you know this?

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

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

And..

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And, I had not made it.

.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Searched for my roll number.

Worked for a marketing agency

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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…

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

“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).”

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
