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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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…

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

Why am I more attracted to black men?

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

Searched for my roll number.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

.

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

“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.”

What is the best sex you have ever had (in detail)?

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

What is the best video editing software you are using presently?

Anyway!

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Is homosexuality an excommunicable offense in Christianity?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I vividly remember that evening.

What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

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

Found an empty bench..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And..

“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).”

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

And entered the park.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Do Flat Earthers exist today? If so, where do they live?

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

“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.”

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

Should India conduct another air strike to attack Pakistan over the Pahalgam attack?

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

What do porn stars do when they get old?

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

Your credentials do not matter!

The batch sizes were huge!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

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.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, I had not made it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I looked around me

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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 the best!
