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

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

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

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

What is the difference between heaven and heavens?

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I did not go back to my home.

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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 entered the park.

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

I looked around me

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

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

How do you envision the role of AI in software development evolving in the future?

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.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

It is almost impossible.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

How do I deal with autistic burnout/meltdown/shutdown when cooking?

Keep your ego aside.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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 vividly remember that evening.

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Anyway!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Found an empty bench..

All the best!

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Your credentials do not matter!

Dropped them

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

And, I had not made it.

Cleared multiple of them

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).
