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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

And..

All achievers in their own way.

Can a bride cheat on her groom at a wedding?

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

I looked around me

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.

What do teens do at night?

Worked for a marketing agency

It is almost impossible.

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

What was your first impression of The Carter V by Lil Wayne? Did it feel like 2008 Wayne, when you heard the first few songs.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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).

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Keep your ego aside.

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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

Is there any way that I can sign up for multiple newsletters from as many companies as possible at once using a single form?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Why are black people harassed more by police officers?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

All the best!

Searched for my roll number.

Your credentials do not matter!

I vividly remember that evening.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

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.

“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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

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…

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Anyway!

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

.

“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.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

And, I had not made it.
