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!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

What is unattractive about a nice guy? Why do some women don’t choose nice guys?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And entered the park.

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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.

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 looked around me

I vividly remember that evening.

But, then it hit me hard.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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).”

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

All the best!

Keep your ego aside.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

Anyway!

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

And..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And, I had not made 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.”

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Dropped them

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?”

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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