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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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).

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

How do I confess to my crush who had a traumatic past with his previous partner without losing the friendship?

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Anyway!

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Are there any men who have sex with male dogs?

Searched for my roll number.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Is starting a virtual call center a viable offline business idea in India? Would it require any technical knowledge or just one person's help?

And..

All the best!

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.

“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).”

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…

Found an empty bench..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Aut ut accusantium quos sint ad aperiam.

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

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

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.

Is it possible for people who claim to be genuine and honest to actually not be? If so, why do they behave this way?

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Does being poor build better character than being born rich?

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

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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

Dropped them

It is almost impossible.

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

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

.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

.

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

I looked around me

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, I had not made 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.”

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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.

All achievers in their own way.

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

I did not go back to my home.
