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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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…

“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).”

What are people discussing on BookTok?

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

How long can someone with narcissistic tendencies maintain a facade of fake love before their true self is revealed? Is there a specific trigger or amount of time that causes them to reveal their true nature?

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And..

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

And entered the park.

Found an empty bench..

It is almost impossible.

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 was constantly staring into the ground

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.

All the best!

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

I vibrated my dogs shock collar while it was eating my other dog’s food and now it won’t eat. How do I fix this problem?

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

.

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

“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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

.

Keep your ego aside.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Your credentials do not matter!

Dropped them

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Anyway!

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

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

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.
