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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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

I looked around me

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Is there a stereotype that South Indians are physically strong and muscular compared to other regions of India?

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

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, I had not made it.

How can reading fiction be turned from escapism into personal growth?

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.”

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

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…

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

I was constantly staring into the ground

All achievers in their own way.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

Why aren't F1 cars popular on the street?

It is almost impossible.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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.”

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

.

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).

Why is Laura Loomer considered a controversial figure within the conservative media ecosystem?

All the best!

But, then it hit me hard.

Dropped them

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Anyway!

“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).”

Keep your ego aside.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Cleared multiple of them

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

And..

Worked for a marketing agency

And entered the park.

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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