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

I looked around me

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.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Atheists, there is a god up there in heaven and he loves you so much that he sent his son to die the worst death imaginable and then to turn into a zombie all to save you from sin. Why do you reject him?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

What's the most sordid activity you've ever seen or heard about at a bachelorette party?

But, then it hit me hard.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And entered the park.

My dog is 2 weeks old. He's not eating, moving and always sleeping and I can't take him to a vet. What should I do?

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

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

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

How do I run away? I'm 15 and live in Oklahoma.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Which country of the world has the largest business network?

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Keep your ego aside.

And, I had not made it.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

How does a single-payer healthcare system handle costs for surgeries, and what's the patient experience like compared to private insurance?

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

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

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with Taylor Swift not supporting him? Why would he think she would want to support a sociopathic liar who pushes election lies in order to stay in political power?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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.”

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 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.

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.

All achievers in their own way.

Found an empty bench..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Dropped them

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

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

And..

I was alone in Delhi back then

It is almost impossible.

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, 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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Anyway!

“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).”

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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