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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

What questions are asked in a JP Morgan Hirevue interview?

All achievers in their own way.

.

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

What is the cause of the UK Riots 2024? What are the motivating factors and driving forces behind them?

I vividly remember that evening.

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).

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

How often should you use red light therapy?

“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.”

“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).”

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Who is someone that inspires you?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Anyway!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

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

And..

I did not go back to my home.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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.

It is almost impossible.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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.

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

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

I looked around me

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And entered the park.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

All the best!

Keep your ego aside.

Dropped them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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.

“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.”

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

And, I had not made it.

I was constantly staring into the ground
