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

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

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.

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

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.

All achievers in their own way.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

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

Found an empty bench..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

How might an Indian girl respond to someone saying "I love you"?

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Dropped them

How much weight will I lose in the first month on a keto diet?

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

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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).

I was constantly staring into the ground

“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).”

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

But, then it hit me hard.

Keep your ego aside.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Anyway!

And..

And, I had not made it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

All the best!

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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 vividly remember that evening.

I looked around me

Searched for my roll number.

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…
