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

Found an empty bench..

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.

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

What is the best AI ChatGPT or Copilot, Cursor, Grok?

Cleared multiple of them

And, I had not made it.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

And entered the park.

Quis sed officia eum accusantium animi.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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).

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I looked around me

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

How big is the French Army?

Anyway!

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

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

Why did my ex move on so fast, we have only been broken up for 2 weeks?

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

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

What does it mean to dream about demons possessing people, and what can be done about this dream that keeps occurring for years?

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.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

How good is the Optimum Nutrition whey protein?

Dropped them

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Do all therapists specialize in one specific type of therapy, or are they trained in multiple types?

I was alone in Delhi back then

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

“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 did not go back to my home.

“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.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

And..

.

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…

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.

All the best!

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

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

It is almost impossible.

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

“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.

Searched for my roll number.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
