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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

But, then it hit me hard.

All the best!

“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.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Were knights’ lances practical weapons, or were they just for sports?

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.

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.

“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).”

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

Anyway!

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 vividly remember that evening.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

A protestant (one that adheres to sola scriptura) disagrees with a catholic. How do they propose resolving the dispute?

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!

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

Do you think Putin wants peace with Ukraine, or does he want Ukraine?

All achievers in their own way.

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

And entered the park.

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

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

And, I had not made it.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I looked around me

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

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

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not go back to my home.

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

.

And..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Searched for my roll number.

I was constantly staring into the ground

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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