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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

“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.”

What would happen if Trump and Putin make a Ukraine peace deal without Ukraine's consent?

.

“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.”

Found an empty bench..

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Supernus Pharmaceuticals to Acquire Sage Therapeutics, Strengthening its Neuropsychiatry Product Portfolio - Sage Therapeutics

And, I had not made it.

Searched for my roll number.

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

Why am I so afraid that gun owners have set traps to kill me outside my house or my car?

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

.

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

Why should the US public listen to Lauren Boebert, the queen of hypocrisy tell us, "We need morals back in our nation" when her real-time video is the heartbeat of immoral? Why does her audio not match her video?

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Is India currently capable of implementing a multimodal artificial intelligence system?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I did not go back to my home.

How is it safe to put tape on your mouth at night?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Has anyone who has been a victim of a narcissist made contact with the other victims of the narcissist? Did it help to confirm what you suspected about the narcissists?

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Have you ever lost any respect for someone instantly?

And..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

But, then it hit me hard.

I vividly remember that evening.

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!

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

And entered the park.

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).

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

It is almost impossible.

All the best!

I looked around me

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

“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).”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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.

Dropped them

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Cleared multiple of them

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.

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…
