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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

What are the easiest stores for shoplifting?

Dropped them

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Why do men love to stink/being smelly?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

It is almost impossible.

Why did my ex replace me so fast?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Keep your ego aside.

Is it sinful for Christians to look at beautiful women?

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

What started the whole idea of femboys? What is the whole point of a femboy? Did a boy or a man just randomly start dressing or acting feminine or something?

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Are infrared sauna blankets safe to use at home?

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

.

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

Who is the greatest light welterweight boxer of all time?

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Corrupti corporis sit reprehenderit facilis nam.

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

“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).”

Found an empty bench..

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

Cleared multiple of them

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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.

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

All the best!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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 looked around me

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

And..

Anyway!

Worked for a marketing agency

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

The batch sizes were huge!

And entered the park.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

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

“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And, I had not made it.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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