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

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

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).

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

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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.”

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

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

ILL Is A Survival Horror Game Made By People Who Worked On Longlegs, IT, V/H/S/Beyond, And More - Game Informer

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

And entered the park.

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

How many of you have had your parental rights taken away because of lies and no truth whatsoever, and did you prove the lies that were told about you to be false either through drug testing or another way, but still had your rights taken?

Dropped them

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I vividly remember that evening.

Worked for a marketing agency

Is mouth taping at night a legitimate anti-snoring method or is it just a popular internet trend without scientific backing?

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Anyway!

Why do some men love sucking cocks?

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

What are the latest trends in commercial interior design in Noida?

“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.”

Searched for my roll number.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Keep your ego aside.

And..

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I looked around me

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

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.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not go back to my home.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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 lasted approximately 10 months.

.

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…

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

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

It is almost impossible.

I was alone in Delhi back then

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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.

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

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

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

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