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

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

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

What are some K-pop idols with smiles that are healing?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I looked around me

Cleared multiple of them

I was constantly staring into the ground

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, I had not made it.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Who's your celebrity crush?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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.”

“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.”

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

What's the most surprising connection you've discovered with someone you just met?

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

What is the best video editing software you are using presently?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

And..

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.

Anyway!

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

“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).”

All the best!

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

Keep your ego aside.

I vividly remember that evening.

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).

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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…

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Dropped them

I was alone in Delhi back then

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