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

I was alone in Delhi back then

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Why does TikTok allow porn stars in its platform? Isn't it aimed at teenagers?

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

“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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

How do individuals become targeted individuals? Is it solely due to experiencing stalking or harassment, or are there other factors involved?

Found an empty bench..

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Is spinach easy to grow?

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…

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

What type of shoes do avid runners typically prefer and why? Is there a difference in performance between different types of running shoes?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Why has Trump suddenly lost the massive momentum he had after his assassination attempt where everybody thought he had secured the presidency?

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Worked for a marketing agency

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, I had not made it.

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

Dropped them

Anyway!

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

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

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

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.

All achievers in their own way.

I was constantly staring into the ground

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

And..

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I looked around me

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I did not go back to my home.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

“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).”

All the best!

“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.”

Cleared multiple of them

And entered the park.
