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

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

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

Anyway!

When does a woman know she is cumming?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

How do schizophrenia symptoms change throughout the day?

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Found an empty bench..

How do flat Earthers explain the existence of other spherical planets?

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

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Are you worried that the 2024 US presidential election will result in a close race?

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

Dropped them

“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.”

What are the differences between Republicans and Democrats in their views of the government's role in society? How do these differences impact policymaking?

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

All the best!

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

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.”

Which MBA specialisation is a good option for me? I have a BE computer degree and working in the IT field.

Cleared multiple of them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Can a meme heal what therapy can't?

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).

I looked around me

Why does Rahul Gandhi have so many haters?

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

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

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

What would you change in the "Game of Thrones" storyline if you were one of the writers of the TV series?

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

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

What are some popular AI tools used for SEO?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over 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…

.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And, I had not made it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not go back to my home.

It is almost impossible.

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

Keep your ego aside.

I vividly remember that evening.

“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).”

But, then it hit me hard.

All achievers in their own way.

.

Searched for my roll number.

“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.”

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

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

“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 determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

And entered the park.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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.

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