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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I looked around me

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

All the best!

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?

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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

The batch sizes were huge!

And..

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

Does the success of autonomous spacecraft and the rise of AI render human involvement in future space exploration unnecessary?

It is almost impossible.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

What qualities do single women typically look for in a man? Is it a common preference for women to want a man who earns more than they do?

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

“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).”

What are three skills that you would like to have, and why?

All achievers in their own way.

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

And, I had not made it.

What are some alternatives to wearing a bra? Why do some women feel pressure to wear bras even though there may not be any benefits?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Has Pope Francis signed a document that gay men can now become priests?

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Your credentials do not matter!

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Found an empty bench..

In an interview Donald Trump said Taylor Swift could be a success in the music industry if she was not so liberal. What do you think? Is Trump correct that Swift is failing as a singer and should listen to his advice about her politics?

Searched for my roll number.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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.

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Anyway!

I did not go back to my home.

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.

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I vividly remember that evening.

Keep your ego aside.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Cleared multiple of them

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.”

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

“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.”

.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

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

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).
