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

It is almost impossible.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Is there a band whose members have been present for every one of their concerts?

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

How did you become popular in school?

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

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

Is deconstruct sunscreen good for a 16-year-old girl?

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Cleared multiple of them

I looked around me

I have received a fake legal notice, with unreachable phone number and unidentified address and fake lawyer enrollment number. The notice has caused my family severe stress. I know the person who might have done this illegal act. What should I do?

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

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

How can I fall asleep fast at night?

Anyway!

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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 entered the park.

All the best!

Why does my mom never wear underwear?

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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).

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

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

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

What would happen if Donald Trump forces Ukraine to a truce with Russia?

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Why do many women wear sleeveless shirts, more so than men?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Dropped them

All achievers in their own way.

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).”

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

I vividly remember that evening.

And, I had not made it.

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…

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Worked for a marketing agency

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And..

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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.”

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was constantly staring into the ground

.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Found an empty bench..

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Searched for my roll number.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Keep your ego aside.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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.

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