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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Why does my vagina and around my butthole itch? I don't have weird discharge and I'm still a virgin.

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

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

“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.”

How is it safe to put tape on your mouth at night?

“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).”

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?”

Searched for my roll number.

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

Anyway!

I vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And..

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

What are some reasons for the widespread dislike of President Trump? In your opinion, has he been a good or bad president?

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

I was alone in Delhi back then

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Cleared multiple of them

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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).

Found an empty bench..

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

Is a narcissist capable of understanding the damage and the hurt that they have caused in your relationship?

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

.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.

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

Why do women need to wear bras, in spite of the fact that the breasts are an integral part of the body?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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.

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

“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.”

What do you think about Anthony Scaramucci saying that JD in JD Vance stands for "Just Dull?"

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I looked around me

And entered the park.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

All achievers in their own way.

Worked for a marketing agency

Dropped them

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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.

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

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

All the best!

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

And, I had not made it.

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