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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

What are the best skin care products for girls?

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.

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

“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.”

I did not go back to my home.

Searched for my roll number.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

I looked around me

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

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

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

“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.”

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

And..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Found an empty bench..

Is it wrong of me to feel uncomfortable that my friend thinks my brother is hot?

“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).”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

All the best!

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

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…

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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).

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Cleared multiple of them

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

.

I vividly remember that evening.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Dropped them

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
