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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, I had not made it.

Why won't biden give a last minute deferred action TO ALL undocumented immigrants so Trump can't deport them? Obama issued DACA, why can't Biden issue something similar that protects ALL undocumented immigrants from deportation?

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

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

“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).”

What is the most comfortable heel height for women's dress shoes and what are the differences between wearing high heels and lower heels?

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

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

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!

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).

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…

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And entered the park.

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

Libtards argue Obama deported more people than Trump, but if that were true why weren't they comparing Obama to Idi Amin?

“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.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

All achievers in their own way.

Why is Trump not on a violation of probation, offering a job for an endorsement is in violation of federal law? Kaamala knew better she is very sharp.

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

“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.

I did not go back to my home.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Anyway!

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

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

What is one thing which you cannot stop however hard you try?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

And..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

Keep your ego aside.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

I looked around me

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

But, then it hit me hard.

Dropped them

.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.
