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

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

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

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

Wall Street floods into Bitcoin Futures as CME trader count hits all-time high - AMBCrypto

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

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

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

Can ancient music sound modern?

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

Worked for a marketing agency

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Why would Joseph Smith say that polygamy was God's law?

I looked around me

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

All achievers in their own way.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

As a Chinese, what disgusts you about the Chinese society today?

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).

All the best!

Dropped them

For the First Time Ever, the Colossal Squid Might Have Shown Its Secret Face - AOL.com

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

“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.”

Anyway!

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And, I had not made it.

How do I explain to my husband that my 19-year-old son has accidentally gotten me pregnant?

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 go back to my home.

“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.”

Is it possible to earn money by writing and self-publishing a Light novel on Amazon Kindle?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

How do I stop having work crushes because I only keep getting disappointed almost every day as I keep seeing they don’t like me back and won’t ever ask me out?

Cleared multiple of them

It is almost impossible.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

And entered the park.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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.

“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).”

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

And..

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
