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

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

Cleared multiple of them

Dropped them

Ask Ethan: What would the Universe be like without dark matter? - Big Think

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

How do I remove the music from a movie or animation? I want to keep the audio from the dialogue and sound effects, but remove the music so that I can add my own.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Will Canada and Mexico become stronger partners in the Trump era?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I did not go back to my home.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

Who will benefit most from DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup that is laying waste to US stocks? Who will be hurt the most?

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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 should I go about convincing my mother that my foreign online boyfriend isn't out to get my holes or scam me?

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

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

And entered the park.

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

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

Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

All the best!

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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.

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

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

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

“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.”

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

And..

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 lasted approximately 10 months.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

But, then it hit me hard.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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 looked around me

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

It is almost impossible.
