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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Has anyone shared his wife with a friend? How was it?

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

And, I had not made it.

I did not go back to my home.

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.

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

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

What is your most intimate experience with your best friend?

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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).

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

Why do entitled people demand that I pick up after my doggo when he goes to the bathroom? Do they not know that doggy doo decomposes & feeds the plants?

Your credentials do not matter!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It is almost impossible.

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

All the best!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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 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.”

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.

And..

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

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

Anyway!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I was constantly staring into the ground

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Searched for my roll number.

I looked around me

Keep your ego aside.

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

“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.”

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

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…

Found an empty bench..

And entered the park.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then
