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

And entered the park.

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

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

What is something you want to "get off your chest"?

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

How could NASA possibly land on the moon when it's impossible to reach the moon through the Earth's dome? Why are they making up such an obvious lie?

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And..

What are the key trends in AI search platforms?

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

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

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.

All the best!

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Found an empty bench..

The batch sizes were huge!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Why does my narcissistic ex told me that he f*cked and sleep with other woman and then at the end says that it also happened because of me?

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

It is almost impossible.

Dropped them

Is it possible for humans to determine their past life as an animal? Is there a scientific method to prove this?

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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).

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not go back to my home.

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

“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).”

Worked for a marketing agency

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…

Anyway!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I was alone in Delhi back then

I looked around me

.

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

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”

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

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.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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.

.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
