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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I looked around me

And, I had not made it.

If we colonized Mars, what would a human being from Mars be called? I’d assume Martian just as one from Earth is called an Earthling or Terran in the case of Sci-Fi media.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

“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.”

And..

I vividly remember that evening.

What is the most gay experience with your dad?

Anyway!

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

All the best!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Belmont Stakes: Hill Road faces challenges beyond tough field - Horse Racing Nation

Searched for my roll number.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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.

How did you know you weren't the narc?

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

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

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

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

Dropped them

“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).”

Is anyone up to have a little conversation?

Keep your ego aside.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

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…

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

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

And entered the park.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I did not go back to my home.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Cleared multiple of them

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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.

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.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.

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

Your credentials do not matter!
