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

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

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.

Why do atheists demand that everyone must accept their own self-definition? Is that any different from demanding others must accept their choice among 87 genders or be labeled as a bigot?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

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?”

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

I looked around me

Worked for a marketing agency

You guys are talking about having sex with dogs. I heard a news man was trying to have sex with a female dog and got stuck inside. Is that possible? How does it feel inside a dog’s vagina?

Found an empty bench..

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

Why did McLaren hope that the Ferrari pair would pit twice during the Italian Grand Prix?

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

“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).”

But, then it hit me hard.

Am I in the wrong for getting upset with my neighbor who was weed whacking at 9 am on a Saturday? Should I apologize for being rude? I found this was obnoxious and inconsiderate, considering I work very late on weekends.

Anyway!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And..

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.

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

“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.”

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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…

And, I had not made it.

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

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

Dropped them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

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.

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

All achievers in their own way.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

All the best!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

Keep your ego aside.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And entered the park.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
