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

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

And entered the park.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Quo perferendis neque at temporibus pariatur quis.

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

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

I looked around me

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

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

Anyway!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I am married for 3 years. My husband keeps pressing my boobs 40-50 times a day. He never stops though I ask him not to. What I should do to stop it?

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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, 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.”

.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

How do you cope when your mother doesn't love you?

“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).”

I did not go back to my home.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Searched for my roll number.

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

Why are leftist movements so popular among young people?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And, I had not made it.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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).

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

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

.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Found an empty bench..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

And..

I was constantly staring into the ground

All the best!

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Your credentials do not matter!
