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

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

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

Dropped them

First-round pairings for NASCAR Cup In-Season Challenge are set - NBC Sports

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

'The Life of Chuck' might leave you brushing away tears — or scratching your head - NPR

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…

It is almost impossible.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

What are the differences between INFJ-T and INFJ A?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Do Europeans typically set heating to higher temperatures in the winter compared to Canadians and Americans if the temperature at a given moment is similar?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Is Baby Netanyahu trying to start a "greater Middle East conflict” in order to stay in office and prevent his corruption trial?

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

What steps have you taken to stop being a targeted individual by gang stalkers? What has worked, what would you have done differently?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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).

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

Is the Democrat party connected with organized crime in America?

Found an empty bench..

All achievers in their own way.

Keep your ego aside.

Is it possible to revive a dead person in real life with black magic?

Worked for a marketing agency

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

.

Why are the bands Smashmouth and Nickelback often used as punchlines?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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.

The batch sizes were huge!

And, I had not made it.

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

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

And entered the park.

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

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

“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.”

Anyway!

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

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

And..

All the best!

I did not go back to my home.

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

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.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

.

“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).”

I looked around me

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

Searched for my roll number.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

But, then it hit me hard.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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