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

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

All the best!

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

☆ what's the thing that made u fell in love with your bias?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

If you have curly hair, when should you brush it?

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And entered the park.

“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.”

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

Anyway!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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…

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

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

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

How can you tell if someone or someone's is trying to recruit or at least test you for a secret organization?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I vividly remember that evening.

How should one handle a situation where they suspect their partner of cheating, but their partner denies it and claims it is all in their head?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“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).”

I looked around me

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.

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.

Found an empty bench..

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I did not go back to my home.

And, I had not made it.

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

Dropped them

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

It is almost impossible.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Keep your ego aside.

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..

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