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

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.”

I looked around me

All the best!

What are some cute stories with your crush?

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

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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 constantly staring into the ground

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

Is it sinful for Christians to look at beautiful women?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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…

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

Dropped them

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

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

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

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

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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Anyway!

And, I had not made it.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”

“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).”

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I did not go back to my home.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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