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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Dropped them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

What is the typical mentality of the Indian society?

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

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

“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.”

Why does Filipino culture dictate that parents should be treated as gods?

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

But, then it hit me hard.

All the best!

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Why do you think there is growing support for far-right parties in Europe?

Found an empty bench..

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..

Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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

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

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

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

I looked around me

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

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

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

If I want to grow muscles, is taking creatine a must or can I take whey protein only?

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Anyway!

And entered the park.

Why do many women like tall men?

Your credentials do not matter!

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).

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

Can you imagine how nervous Kamala Harris must be knowing that in couple of hours she needs to face master debater Donald Trump?

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Pocono starting lineup: Denny Hamlin becomes oldest Cup pole winner since 2017 - NBC Sports

I did not go back to my home.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Will ChatGPT make Quora obsolete?

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And, I had not made it.

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…

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Keep your ego aside.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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, 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).”

Cleared multiple of them

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
