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

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Anyway!

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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.

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

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

Bat found in Downtown Boise tests positive for rabies - KTVB

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

I did not go back to my home.

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 washing a dog exhaust you very quickly?

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

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back 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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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…

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

Searched for my roll number.

But, then it hit me hard.

The batch sizes were huge!

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

“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).”

And, I had not made it.

“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.”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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.

Cleared multiple of them

It lasted approximately 10 months.

.

All the best!

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

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

Found an empty bench..

And entered the park.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I looked around me

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

“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.”

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

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I was constantly staring into the ground

All achievers in their own way.
