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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

All achievers in their own way.

What happened to your school bully?

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

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

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

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

Dropped them

I was constantly staring into the ground

Why hasn't Japan legalized same-sex marriage?

And, I had not made it.

“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.”

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Is it true that schizophrenia can sometimes be a demonic attack or black magic?

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

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).

But, then it hit me hard.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

All the best!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Which services sell most on Fiverr?

It is almost impossible.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

How did President Biden address the housing crisis when he entered office, and what were the outcomes of his actions?

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Even Captain James T. Kirk was trapped in a woman's body. Don't you think he'd support trans people?

“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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

"Which K-pop idols do you find breathtakingly beautiful?"

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

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

And entered the park.

Anyway!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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)

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And..

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.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

I looked around me

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

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.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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)
