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

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.

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

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

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

Anyway!

All the best!

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Scientists hooking flies on cocaine to study addiction: Reports - WSYR

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).

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

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

What is the recommended approach for creating a film or TV script? Should the script be written first or should the story be developed first? Why?

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

Found an empty bench..

And entered the park.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Why did Donald Trump look so old during the debate?

“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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

Have you ever had sex with your husband's friend in front of your husband? Please tell about it and elaborate.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Dropped them

I did not go back to my home.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

“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.”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And, I had not made it.

.

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

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

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…

.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Cleared multiple of them

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

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.

“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 looked around me

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And..

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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