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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

What are some cute picnic ideas for a romantic date?

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

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

It is almost impossible.

How is Sola Scriptura incoherent?

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“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.”

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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).

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

Found an empty bench..

“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).”

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

What are some good series or movies like GOT in the fantasy genre?

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I was constantly staring into the ground

Anyway!

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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 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.

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Your credentials do not matter!

Worked for a marketing agency

All achievers in their own way.

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.

And..

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…

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.

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

All the best!

And entered the park.
