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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

What are the advantages of using plastic straws over metal or glass straws when drinking carbonated beverages? Is there a noticeable difference in taste?

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

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

Where can I get sure fixed matches on Instagram?

All achievers in their own way.

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

Why do people see porn pics when they can watch porn videos instead?

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

Dropped them

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.

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, 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.”

If you received hand-me-downs as a child, how did they make you feel?

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

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

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

October 31, 2000, was a special day—it was the last time all humans were on Earth together - Glass Almanac

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

All the best!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

What’s your experience of being treated bad for being white?

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

It is almost impossible.

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

And, I had not made it.

I did not go back to my home.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Worked for a marketing agency

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

.

But, then it hit me hard.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Found an empty bench..

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

.

Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”

Anyway!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

“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).”

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