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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

It is almost impossible.

Which Ayurvedic ritual, dry brushing, oil pulling, or facial massage, do you want to try first?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Does the rest of the world see America as a joke now that Trump is president again?

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

And, I had not made it.

We can't afford AC and its so hot, theres literally pools of sweat on the couch (TMI sorry) what can I do? I have a ceiling fan but my room feels still feels like a sauna. Any tips to stay cool? I can't fall asleep at night😭

Searched for my roll number.

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.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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).

Anyway!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

“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).”

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

Why do siblings (or other close relatives) stop visiting each other as they grow older? Why does this happen with so many people nowadays?

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

How does cultural debt arise from the Cursor IDE?

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

All the best!

“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.

Cleared multiple of them

All achievers in their own way.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I looked around me

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

“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 vividly remember that evening.

And entered the park.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And..

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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 did not go back to my home.

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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