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

I vividly remember that evening.

All the best!

Found an empty bench..

Cleared multiple of them

And entered the park.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Searched for my roll number.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Is spinach easy to grow?

“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).”

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

“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.”

Why do some men love sucking cocks?

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

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

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.

Why do many Hong Kong Chinese look different from the Han Chinese in mainland China?

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

What would happen if the US government told the British government in no uncertain terms all RAF bases with USAF personnel now must follow the Constitution and us law, and if the UK tried to defy this, the US military would directly attack the UK?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Why is my older sister so mean to me as if I was her enemy?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Anyway!

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)

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

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

I looked around me

The batch sizes were huge!

‘Materialists’ Director Celine Song on Exploring the ‘Brutal’ Aspects of Modern Dating and Seeing Movie Stars as More Than ‘Merchandise’ - Variety

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Why do almost all vertebrates have tails, but not apes and frogs?

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).

.

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

What is something brutally honest that needs to be said?

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

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

And..

Worked for a marketing agency

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

It is almost impossible.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

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…

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

All achievers in their own way.

Keep your ego aside.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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.

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.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

Dropped them
