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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

Can you explain the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel? Why does it appear that Israel has been more successful in the conflict?

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.

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

And, I had not made it.

I looked around me

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Anyway!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

All the best!

Why do American conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy? Would it not make sense to call America a constitutional republican democracy?

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.

Keep your ego aside.

Why are the democrats keep insisting that there are more than two genders?

And..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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).”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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).

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Dropped them

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

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…

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

Found an empty bench..

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And entered the park.

Searched for my roll number.

All achievers in their own way.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

.

“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.”

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.
