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.

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

New theory proposes time has three dimensions, with space as a secondary effect - Phys.org

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.

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

What are some questions obviously just asked for sexual gratification?

.

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

Keep your ego aside.

I looked around me

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

And..

What happens in Sweden if you cannot pay a hospital debt you did not know about until recently but willing to pay when your finances improve?

Searched for my roll number.

I was constantly staring into the ground

All achievers in their own way.

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

What is the best video editing software you are using presently?

I vividly remember that evening.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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).

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

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

Found an empty bench..

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

Can you write a letter to your first love without mentioning his/her name?

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

All the best!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

“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).”

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

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

Dropped them

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.

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

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I did not go back to my home.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

“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.”

And, I had not made it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Worked for a marketing agency

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Your credentials do not matter!

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Cleared multiple of them

.

Anyway!

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