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

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

.

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.

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

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

What are the ten cars that make me no longer feel inferior?

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I did not go back to my home.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Et distinctio voluptatem magni repudiandae.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Anyway!

Dropped them

What is the most eccentric thing you own? How did you get it?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I was alone in Delhi back then

“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 batch sizes were huge!

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“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).”

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Keep your ego aside.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

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

“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.”

Searched for my roll number.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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.

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

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

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.

And, I had not made it.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

All the best!

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.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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 looked around me

And..

Worked for a marketing agency

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

It is almost impossible.

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, then it hit me hard.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

Your credentials do not matter!
