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

Anyway!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Cleared multiple of them

Why do many modern Hollywood films rely heavily on CGI and visual effects instead of actual sets? What is your opinion on this trend?

The batch sizes were huge!

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 did not go back to my home.

Honestly! Do you people actually watch all that nonsense produced by the nitwit network television stations or do they just claim you do?

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

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

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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 constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

I looked around me

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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…

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

All the best!

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

“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).”

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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).

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

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

.

“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.”

Keep your ego aside.

Found an empty bench..

I vividly remember that evening.

And entered the park.

And..

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.

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