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

Dropped them

I looked around me

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I am 13 and I am planning to run away. What should I do to succeed?

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

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Keep your ego aside.

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

It is almost impossible.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Anyway!

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

Worked for a marketing agency

And entered the park.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

As a friend of Megan's who also watches Suits, would you advise her not to return to the show in order to protect her character's reputation?

I vividly remember that evening.

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

All the best!

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

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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).

And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”

Found an empty bench..

“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).”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

All achievers in their own way.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

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.

Searched for my roll number.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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…

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not go back to my home.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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.

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