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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Anyway!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

How can consumers verify the power claims of light therapy devices?

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…

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Can anyone or anything overthrow your belief in the Jewish God?

“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.”

Cleared multiple of them

All the best!

“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.”

It is almost impossible.

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.

Since the Brits can't steer their oil tanker, what makes them think they can take on Russia?

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

All achievers in their own way.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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).

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Do you agree that AI renders much human cognitive activity (knowledge work) as the equivalent of the old factory floor?

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

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Dropped them

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And entered the park.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Have you ever seen a woman having sex with a dog?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

And..

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And, I had not made it.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Found an empty bench..

“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).”

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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.

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