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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Consequatur explicabo natus minima expedita.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

What is a common thought that keeps people up at night? Why do some people experience this?

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

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

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

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

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).

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.

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

All achievers in their own way.

I was constantly staring into the ground

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

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

Your credentials do not matter!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“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.

Do many women shave their vaginas?

All the best!

Searched for my roll number.

Dropped them

Consectetur assumenda in molestiae debitis accusamus quaerat consectetur.

I did not go back to my home.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

How do you dry your hair fast?

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

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

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

I looked around me

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

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

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.

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

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

How do you identify a woman player?

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

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

Found an empty bench..

Keep your ego aside.

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

And..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

The batch sizes were huge!

And, I had not made it.

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, 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.”

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

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

Anyway!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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 vividly remember that evening.

And entered the park.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

But, then it hit me hard.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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