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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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.”

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Why do men like low maintenance women?

It is almost impossible.

And entered the park.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

So who has worn a cock cage. One of my guy FWBs put one on me last Sunday and left with the keys? I was very nervous at first but have calmed down. Told me he'll unlock it tomorrow.. Let me know.

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

And..

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Cleared multiple of them

I have been married for 34 years, and I found out my wife lied, and cheated a lot back before we got married. Does she not change, or is it possible she is still a cheater?

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…

Your credentials do not matter!

“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).”

Which is the best AI app for house plan making?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

What are some alternatives to noise canceling headphones for sleeping on airplanes and in noisy environments?

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

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.

What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

What is your opinion about homosexuality? Do you think that it is by nature or a choice?

“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.

Write something which is just the opposite of you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

What did your best friend do that ended your friendship?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

All the best!

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Searched for my roll number.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I looked around me

And, I had not made it.

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

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

Dropped them

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Anyway!

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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.
