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

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

“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.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Found an empty bench..

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.

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

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

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

"Which K-pop idols do you find breathtakingly beautiful?"

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

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

Is there a noticeable difference in performance between expensive running shoes and cheaper alternatives like Asics and Nike's "free" series? Are expensive running shoes worth the cost?

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

Cleared multiple of them

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Does anyone in the Middle East even understand the reasons for the continuous conflicts as the reasons were understood when the conflicts all started? Is it possible that everything began when two ancient shepherds were playing tricks on each other?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

Anyway!

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

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

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

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Is Farage right to blame the housing crisis in the UK on migration?

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

Searched for my roll number.

All the best!

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And, I had not made it.

I looked around me

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Keep your ego aside.

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.

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).

Dropped them

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

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).”

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

But, then it hit me hard.

And..

It is almost impossible.

.

Your credentials do not matter!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I vividly remember that evening.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

“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 alone in Delhi back then
