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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

The batch sizes were huge!

In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

So I’m getting piano lessons and my teacher wants me to get an upright piano instead of a keyboard. An upright piano is way above my price range, so what do I do? And what’s the difference between an upright piano and a keyboard?

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.

It is almost impossible.

What are the best cheap & effective supplements to build muscle that are backed by scientific research?

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

“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?

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

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

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

What are the reasons for your political affiliation with the Democratic party? What are some aspects of the party that you support and some that you do not?

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

All achievers in their own way.

Liberals, why can't you admit that Andrew Tate is the most moral and intelligent person of modern time?

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

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Found an empty bench..

“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.”

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.

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

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, 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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Your credentials do not matter!

And entered the park.

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Anyway!

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

I did not go back to my home.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

I looked around me

Keep your ego aside.

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