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

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

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.

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…

Do you have any fantasies you are ashamed of?

And, I had not made it.

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.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And entered the park.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

What is life without a job?

Worked for a marketing agency

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 constantly staring into the ground

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

Anyway!

But, then it hit me hard.

“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).”

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

Cleared multiple of them

Your credentials do not matter!

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

All the best!

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

I looked around me

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

“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.”

Dropped them

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

All achievers in their own way.

And..

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
