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

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

And..

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

Do you think cheating is that bad?

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

Keep your ego aside.

But, then it hit me hard.

And, I had not made it.

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

He led George W. Bush's PEPFAR program to stop AIDS. Now he fears for its future - NPR

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Vel expedita omnis impedit modi earum itaque ut.

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

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

I looked around me

Homophobia is clearly a harmful mental sickness. What can LGBT people do to cure it?

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.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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…

Worked for a marketing agency

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

What does it mean when we dream about demons, ghosts, monsters, etc.?

The batch sizes were huge!

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

What do you think of Andrew Tate's 'PhD' course?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

And entered the park.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Found an empty bench..

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!

It is almost impossible.

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

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.

All the best!

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).

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

.

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

Anyway!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Dropped them

.

“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.”

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.

All achievers in their own way.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I did not go back to my home.
