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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Your credentials do not matter!

How good is the Optimum Nutrition whey protein?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!

The batch sizes were huge!

And..

Searched for my roll number.

Is there any concrete proof that LED face masks actually work?

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

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

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…

What is the most offensive thing someone has ever asked you?

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

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

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

What kind of lights would you like to use for your home decor?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Found an empty bench..

What trains transport cars and passengers near Pompano Beach, Florida that goes to New York?

And, I had not made it.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

“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.”

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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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.”

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

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

“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

Are rich people harder workers than poor people as a whole?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And entered the park.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

All achievers in their own way.

.

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

.

I looked around me

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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).

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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)

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

All the best!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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.
