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

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

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

If Andrew Tate said that women only should be on the kitchen, why do Democrats want to elect Kamala Harris?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Did sharing a wife turn out okay?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

What made Sally Field a standout choice for "Smokey and the Bandit" despite her reputation as a serious actress after "Sybil"?

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

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.

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.

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

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

If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

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).

“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).”

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

Have you ever answered your door in lingerie?

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

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

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

I looked around me

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

And..

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

All the best!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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.”

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

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

The batch sizes were huge!

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.

All achievers in their own way.

Keep your ego aside.

Anyway!

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Found an empty bench..

And, I had not made it.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I did not go back to my home.

Cleared multiple of them

And entered the park.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I was alone in Delhi back then
