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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

I looked around me

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

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

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

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

“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).”

And, I had not made it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

What are some ways to cope with paranoid thoughts about being gangstalked or targeted individuals?

“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.”

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

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…

Keep your ego aside.

“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.”

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).

Why does Africa have all mineral resources but she is suffering economically?

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

And entered the park.

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

All the best!

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Found an empty bench..

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

How powerful is LinkedIn for job ads?

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.

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

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

But, then it hit me hard.

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 vividly remember that evening.

All achievers in their own way.

Anyway!

Cleared multiple of them

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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