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

Found an empty bench..

And..

The batch sizes were huge!

But, then it hit me hard.

All the best!

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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…

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

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

“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).”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Anyway!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

Why am I single?

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

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 did not go back to my home.

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

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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I looked around me

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was alone in Delhi back then

And entered the park.

And, I had not made it.

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).

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

“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.”

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

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

It is almost impossible.
