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

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.”

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

Time (physics): Who started counting our current time or is it just "set" by some scientific measure?

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I looked around me

Your credentials do not matter!

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

All achievers in their own way.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

What are your political and economic beliefs? How did you form them, especially in comparison to those who hold opposing views?

All the best!

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.

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

And, I had not made it.

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).

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And entered the park.

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

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…

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

What real evidence is there to believe in legends such as the story of Atlandida or the lost continent of Lemuria?

It is almost impossible.

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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.”

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

Anyway!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Dropped them

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

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

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.

I vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

.

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

Found an empty bench..

I did not go back to my home.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

“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!

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

And..

Keep your ego aside.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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