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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Est sit omnis doloribus placeat rem necessitatibus.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Why do people have polyamorous relationships?

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

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 alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

All the best!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

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

I looked around me

It is almost impossible.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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?”

And entered the park.

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…

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Dropped them

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

And..

And, I had not made it.

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

Anyway!

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

Found an empty bench..

But, then it hit me hard.

Your credentials do not matter!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Searched for my roll number.

All achievers in their own way.

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.

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.

.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Keep your ego aside.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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).
