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

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Why, after a divorce, would one still want to ruin the other one’s life?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Can you explain the difference between an ego, soul, mind, and consciousness?

Anyway!

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

What are some questions obviously just asked for sexual gratification?

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

What does the stink of the skunk look like? Why would it be dangerous?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

It is almost impossible.

And..

What are some tips to stay young?

“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

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…

Is it possible to make cars that run on water instead of gasoline or other fossil fuels? Why haven't we done so yet?

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

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).

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

“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.”

Your credentials do not matter!

I did not go back to my home.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Found an empty bench..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

All the best!

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

The batch sizes were huge!

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!

And entered the park.

.

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

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

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.

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

Dropped them

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

.

All achievers in their own way.

“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.”

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

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

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

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