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

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

I looked around me

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

Consequatur explicabo natus minima expedita.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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.

Does anyone in the Middle East even understand the reasons for the continuous conflicts as the reasons were understood when the conflicts all started? Is it possible that everything began when two ancient shepherds were playing tricks on each other?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I vividly remember that evening.

I did not go back to my home.

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

I was constantly staring into the ground

I was alone in Delhi back then

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Keep your ego aside.

Is it possible for doctors to diagnose prostate cancer just by looking at a patient?

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

It is almost impossible.

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

Why cant I sleep even tho I am sleepy? I am not anxious or worried but my body just doesn't want to. I've been awake for almost 2 days and feel sleepy but I cant sleep. My doctor said its anxiety related but its not. Is this normal?

And, I had not made it.

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.

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Found an empty bench..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And entered the park.

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

Anyway!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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).

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

All achievers in their own way.

.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

“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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Dropped them

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