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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Which is a good budget sunscreen for my oily skin?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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

How do great movie moments influence how people handle real-life moral dilemmas?

And entered the park.

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

I looked around me

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not go back to my home.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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…

Dropped them

‘Gas station heroin’ is technically illegal and widely available. Here are the facts - WANE 15

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Do you think that Trump's plan to deport undocumented immigrants will solve America's housing crisis?

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

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

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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

What are your top ten favorite K-pop albums?

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

“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).”

And..

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)

Keep your ego aside.

And, I had not made it.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Worked for a marketing agency

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

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).

“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.”

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.

Cleared multiple of them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

All achievers in their own way.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

All the best!

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

“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.”

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

Anyway!
