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

.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Unde non omnis quia ut et magni ea.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Keep your ego aside.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And..

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

I looked around me

It is almost impossible.

All the best!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Why do wives cheat with black guys?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Why do Puerto Ricans come to this country flying their flags over in the United States all over their cars? They're so proud of their country. Why are they here?

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

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…

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

How do individuals become targeted individuals? Is it solely due to experiencing stalking or harassment, or are there other factors involved?

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

Why didn't Taylor Swift do Taylor Swift (Taylors version)?

I did not go back to my home.

And, I had not made it.

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

“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.”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

All achievers in their own way.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

And entered the park.

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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

Found an empty bench..

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.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Dropped them

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Worked for a marketing agency

I was alone in Delhi back then

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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