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

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

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

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…

What would you do if you were lost at sea in the Florida Keys?

Anyway!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

Do girls ever miss their first love?

I did not go back to my home.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Am I the bitch for never wanting to talk to my sister again because of something she said while talking back to me?

I vividly remember that evening.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

All achievers in their own way.

Found an empty bench..

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

Do you think Trump is gambling with the lives of millions of people by getting involved in Russia-Ukraine relations?

I looked around me

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

And, I had not made it.

Searched for my roll number.

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.”

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

Could some kind lady post me a photo of her hairy spread pussy? It has become extremely difficult to find new amateur photos and I would be infinitely grateful.

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

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

And entered the park.

Dropped them

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

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.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And..

Keep your ego aside.

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was constantly staring into the ground

All the best!

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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).”

It lasted approximately 10 months.
