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

And..

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

Dropped them

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

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

How does Bollywood influence Indian culture?

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

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

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 vividly remember that evening.

I did not go back to my home.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Is it very wrong to want to spend some time with husband after continuous work for 5 days in a weekend because my husband thinks if we go out every weekend what night my parents and other family members think?

I looked around me

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Keep your ego aside.

“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).”

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

Why does Nickelback, a popular Canadian alternative-rock band, receive so much hate? Is it because they are not considered "edgy" by some people?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Worked for a marketing agency

Do you usually wear your panties over or under your pantyhose?

“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.”

All achievers in their own way.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Are there any guys, crossdressers, or transgender girls here who wear tampons?

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

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).

What are the top challenges facing FinTech HR firms?

Found an empty bench..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

“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.”

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

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

.

Anyway!

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.

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

All the best!

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

And, I had not made it.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

And entered the park.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
