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

It is almost impossible.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Do you think this Labour Party is qualified to run our country?

Anyway!

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

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Japanese culture: Is it true adult adoption is common in Japan?

All achievers in their own way.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Does being poor build better character than being born rich?

Your credentials do not matter!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Cleared multiple of them

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

What are sales promotions?

Found an empty bench..

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

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

What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?

And entered the park.

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

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

Is there any truth to the claim that Kamala Harris got where she is by sleeping around, or is that just typical conservative bigotry?

.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

What is truer than that which is true?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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, 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..

“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).”

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“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.”

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

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

Dropped them

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

The batch sizes were huge!

But, then it hit me hard.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All the best!

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.

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

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.

And..

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

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).
