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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Keep your ego aside.

Aut consectetur debitis ullam.

And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Having read so much about Archie and Lilibet not actually existing, does anyone have any proof that they not only exist but that Meghan gave birth to them?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I vividly remember that evening.

But, then it hit me hard.

Which spiritual Baba is the richest in India?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

“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.”

It is almost impossible.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I looked around me

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…

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?

.

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

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

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

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

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).

And entered the park.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

And, I had not made it.

All the best!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Found an empty bench..

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.”

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

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Searched for my roll number.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Anyway!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Dropped them

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