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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And, I had not made it.

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?

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.

Searched for my roll number.

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).

How much higher are McDonald's prices going to go?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Dropped them

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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.

Et distinctio voluptatem magni repudiandae.

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And entered the park.

I was alone in Delhi back then

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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…

Anyway!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

I was constantly staring into the ground

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And..

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I looked around me

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

But, then it hit me hard.

.

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

“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!
