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

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

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

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

Why should you never do drugs? Will this story absolutely shock you?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And..

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.

Found an empty bench..

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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.

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

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

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

Why am I so wanting to suck a penis?

I looked around me

I was constantly staring into the ground

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

All the best!

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

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

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.”

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

What is a good habit and what is bad one?

Anyway!

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

What are some signs that someone may be being stalked by an organization or secret society? How can they find out for sure?

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

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

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

And entered the park.

Why am I tired all the time?

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

But, then it hit me hard.

Dropped them

And, I had not made it.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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.”

“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.

I was alone in Delhi back then

It is almost impossible.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

.

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 vividly remember that evening.

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

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

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).

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
