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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Found an empty bench..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

All achievers in their own way.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Why did Democrats echo that Joe Biden was greater than FDR and should be put on Mt Rushmore? Why did Democrats vote for Biden blindly in the primaries and deny he was mentally impaired? Was it the lying media, or are Democrats ignorant and gullible?

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?

And, I had not made it.

And entered the park.

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

Observations from Day 2 of minicamp | OTAs & Minicamp - Cleveland Browns

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I looked around me

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

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

Why are people saying that Taylor Swift is the smartest person on Earth?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I vividly remember that evening.

Keep your ego aside.

How about learn C sharp at 2024?

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

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).

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.

What are the psychological reasons behind an extreme obsession with another human being?

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Minima tempora consequatur voluptas sequi aspernatur corporis.

It is almost impossible.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Cleared multiple of them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

All the best!

Anyway!

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

Searched for my roll number.

.

And..

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then
