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

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

I looked around me

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Found an empty bench..

Anyway!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

How do women feel when they are in love?

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…

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

All the best!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Worked for a marketing agency

What is it that gives a man who is a submissive cock sucker his most pleasure?

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.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Dropped them

What exactly is the boundary men should follow while looking at girls so they don't call them perverts?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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.

What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?

And..

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

What are the best AI recruiting tools and AI hiring software available today?

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

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

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

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

And, I had not made it.

Keep your ego aside.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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.

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

.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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

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

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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).

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

All achievers in their own way.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Your credentials do not matter!
