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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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).”

Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

How severely should I get punished? Please describe throughly. Today I got my result of my test nd I found out that I failed in 2 subjects, my parents are currently in abroad nd I lied to them about the fail but I feel guilty now.

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

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

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

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

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).

I was constantly staring into the ground

And, I had not made it.

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…

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

What do you love to do at night when you’re alone?

I did not go back to my home.

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

Anyway!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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

All the best!

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

Which MBA specialisation is a good option for me? I have a BE computer degree and working in the IT field.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Keep your ego aside.

Dropped them

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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.

All achievers in their own way.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I looked around 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.”

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

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

Found an empty bench..

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

And..

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

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

And entered the park.

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.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.
