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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

All the best!

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

All achievers in their own way.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

How did you become popular in school?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Et distinctio voluptatem magni repudiandae.

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.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Why after 50 years of being straight do I constantly desire to suck cock?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

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.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And..

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

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

In what ways is Bollywood becoming westernized?

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

Why do people have polyamorous relationships?

Found an empty bench..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

“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).”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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.”

Cleared multiple of them

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Anyway!

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

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).

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Why do so many people seem to hate Nickelback? They're competent and entertaining, and while they certainly aren't the absolute best music, they're still a fun listen.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was alone in Delhi back then

“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.”

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

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

I looked around me

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

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

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

And entered the park.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Dropped them

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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.

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, I had not made it.

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