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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Worked for a marketing agency

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Dropped them

And entered the park.

And..

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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.

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).

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

What do flat earthers think about Antarctica?

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

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Democrats be honest, how many of you were wishing that Musk rescue space flight blew up?

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

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

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

I was alone in Delhi back then

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

.

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

I looked around me

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.

Searched for my roll number.

All the best!

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.

“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).”

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

It is almost impossible.

I vividly remember that evening.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

Anyway!

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.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And, I had not made it.

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