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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

How can MeTV Toons compete with other national broadcast TV networks?

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

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 vividly remember that evening.

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

“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 lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Searched for my roll number.

Keep your ego aside.

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.

And..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

When you have seven hours to kill, what should one do?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

What if the girl says that drama about you dating here? Is that a bad sign?

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…

And entered the park.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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).

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.

How good do you sing and how do you know this?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

.

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

All the best!

All achievers in their own way.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Cleared multiple of them

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Found an empty bench..

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

The batch sizes were huge!

.

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

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

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

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

I looked around me

“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 constantly staring into the ground

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

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.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“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.”

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Dropped them

Anyway!
