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

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Homophobia is clearly a harmful mental sickness. What can LGBT people do to cure it?

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

Cleared multiple of them

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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.

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

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…

How do you get free followers on TikTok in 5 minutes?

Searched for my roll number.

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

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).

You guys are talking about having sex with dogs. I heard a news man was trying to have sex with a female dog and got stuck inside. Is that possible? How does it feel inside a dog’s vagina?

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

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

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

Why cant school buses ditch kids who are late to the bus at the school? Like on the way home, if a kid is late when all the others arrived to the bus on time, why cant they leave the late kid behind since its not fair to the on time kids to wait?

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

And, I had not made it.

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

This Quirky Accessory Can Actually Make Walking Easier And Boost Heart Health - HuffPost

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

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

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

What is your prediction for the future of our society? How long do you think it will take for us to address and fix current issues?

I looked around me

Anyway!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

It is almost impossible.

And..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Wasn't it a good timely decision by the Modi government in hindsight to ban TikTok in India after witnessing how TikTok and Red note has become a headache for the government in the US to deal with?

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

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

Dropped them

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

.

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.

Found an empty bench..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

All achievers in their own way.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

.

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

“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.”

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

And entered the park.

“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).”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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.

The batch sizes were huge!

All the best!
