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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I vividly remember that evening.

A Mud Volcano From the Ice Age Has Just Been Discovered—And It’s More Active Than We Thought - The Daily Galaxy

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And, I had not made it.

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

Anyway!

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Which type of physical cable has fastest transmission speed?

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

And..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Why is the concept of pumping water uphill not commonly used as a source of electricity generation, similar to pumped-hydro systems?

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

It is almost impossible.

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

What are the common formulas for improvising ornaments in bel canto singing?

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

I looked around me

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

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.

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.”

What destroys relationships between actors in Hollywood?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

All achievers in their own way.

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

“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).”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Dropped them

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

“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.”

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