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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Are there any men who have sex with male dogs?

“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Keep your ego aside.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

J.K. Rowling said that 65% of people in Britain are transgender. Where did she come up with that statistic?

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

And..

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

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

“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.”

Worked for a marketing agency

AI Experts say that, "with the advancement of AI, humans will stop coding within a few years." How much do you think this is true?

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

Dropped them

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

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

I looked around me

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

Anyway!

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All the best!

.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Cleared multiple of them

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

All achievers in their own way.

“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.”

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Searched for my roll number.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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!

And, I had not made it.

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.

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

.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And entered the park.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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…

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Found an empty bench..

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