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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

Molestiae quas aut aut quisquam eum aut.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

All the best!

And entered the park.

What is the difference in doing a hot rail and just smoking a bowl?

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

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.

Searched for my roll number.

My girlfriend lied and said she never gave oral until me. She was very skilled. I’m upset with her lying. Do I dump her?

All achievers in their own way.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Are you more of a butt guy or a boob guy?

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

I looked around me

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

What was the worst decision you ever did?

Your credentials do not matter!

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Do you think Trump is gambling with the lives of millions of people by getting involved in Russia-Ukraine relations?

And..

“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).”

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

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…

Anyway!

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

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).

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, I had not made it.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

It is almost impossible.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

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

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“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.”

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

Dropped them

The batch sizes were huge!

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

“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.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Cleared multiple of them

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