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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It is almost impossible.

I looked around me

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

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

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

Anyway!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Dropped them

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Found an empty bench..

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.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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

“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.”

What can help me fall asleep at night?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Searched for my roll number.

Cleared multiple of them

The batch sizes were huge!

“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 an element of probability that no one can predict.

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

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

“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).”

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

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

But, then it hit me hard.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

And entered the park.

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

All the best!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

And..

I did not go back to my home.

All achievers in their own way.

And, I had not made it.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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…
