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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

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

All the best!

“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).”

Can you list every album you have ever listened to?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Cleared multiple of them

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

Anyway!

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

What should you do if a police officer comes to your house and asks for someone who doesn't live there anymore?

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?

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

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

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine this fall? Here’s what we know - OregonLive.com

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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).

Atheists, there is a god up there in heaven and he loves you so much that he sent his son to die the worst death imaginable and then to turn into a zombie all to save you from sin. Why do you reject him?

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

All achievers in their own way.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

“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.”

Keep your ego aside.

I looked around me

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not go back to my home.

And..

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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…

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Searched for my roll number.

And entered the park.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.

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