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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!

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

All the best!

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”

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

It is almost impossible.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I did not go back to my home.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Why did Lord Shiva lust after Mohini - how can he be the supreme and worthy of devotion if he did such a thing?

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Why is it easy to make money in the USA?

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

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

I looked around me

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

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

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

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

And entered the park.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Is it just me, or is it hard to find novels that are different compared to each other without the variety of them having to be a mystery/crime, and romance/fantasy?

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

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

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…

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

“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).”

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

All achievers in their own way.

.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

“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.”

And..

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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).

Cleared multiple of them

Dropped them

And, I had not made it.
