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

I did not go back to my home.

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

All the best!

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Saepe ut vero explicabo illo hic aspernatur.

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

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

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

Why do you think Democrat favorability ratings are so low?

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Cleared multiple of them

It is almost impossible.

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…

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.

All achievers in their own way.

UFC Baku cheater (and $100k ‘Fight of the Night’ loser) transported to local hospital - MMAmania.com

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).

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I looked around me

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

Do you think covid 19 was never as bad as it got made out to be where we needed lockdowns and restrictions?

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

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

And..

Why are most girls not open to the idea of anal sex?

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I am glad you enjoyed my pictures. Do you have any photos to share?

I was constantly staring into the ground

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anyway!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And entered the park.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Dropped them

.

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Worked for a marketing agency

“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).”

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 was alone in Delhi back then

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

Searched for my roll number.
