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

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

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.

Can you share a picture of your favorite outfit and explain why you love it?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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).”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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).

What are some downsides to living in Newfoundland and Labrador (besides the weather)?

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Dropped them

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Why cant I breathe when I sleep on my back, I can breathe if im on my side or stomach but I feel uncomfortable since either my neck is twisted or my back is in pain, im physically healthy and my surroundings are clean so whats the problem?

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

It is almost impossible.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Since when has Taylor Swift become a political journalist? What are her qualifications to recommend candidates for office? Johnathan Swift, maybe, but not Taylor?

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

Anyway!

Keep your ego aside.

Democrat voters, why are you so naive, easy to manipulate, can't see a liar standing right in front of you and why won't you research your party? You will find they have a plan for all W. Nations and it's evil.

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

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

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

I looked around me

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

All the best!

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, I had not made it.

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 did not go back to my home.

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

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…

And entered the park.

“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.”

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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.

And..

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

“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.”

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

.

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

All achievers in their own way.

I vividly remember that evening.
