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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

What are scads fish? What types are there?

“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.”

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

Keep your ego aside.

How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Do you think this Labour Party is qualified to run our country?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

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

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.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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).

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

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

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

Anyway!

What unique academic programs does IILM University offer?

And..

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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…

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.

Which AI tool is capable of writing code and creating software from simple instructions?

“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).”

Dropped them

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And, I had not made it.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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.

And entered the park.

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

I looked around me

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I vividly remember that evening.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was constantly staring into the ground

The batch sizes were huge!
