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

And entered the park.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Dropped them

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

But, then it hit me hard.

The batch sizes were huge!

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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 did not go back to my home.

What are the consequences of being addicted to something? Is it considered wrong to have an addiction?

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Searched for my roll number.

In an interview Donald Trump said Taylor Swift could be a success in the music industry if she was not so liberal. What do you think? Is Trump correct that Swift is failing as a singer and should listen to his advice about her politics?

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

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

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

Which AI tool is capable of writing code and creating software from simple instructions?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!

Cleared multiple of them

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

All the best!

Your credentials do not matter!

In bed, not in music, which is better, a drummer or a bass player?

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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Found an empty bench..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Keep your ego aside.

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

“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).”

.

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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…

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

“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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

It is almost impossible.

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

And, I had not made it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

And..

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

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).

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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