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

It is almost impossible.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

What does it feel like when a guy cums in your ass?

I vividly remember that evening.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

And..

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).

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

All the best!

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

Anyway!

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And entered the park.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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.

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

“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).”

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

All achievers in their own way.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

.

Dropped them

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

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

“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.”

.

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

And, I had not made it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I did not go back to my home.

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

I looked around me

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
