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

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Dropped them

What are the reasons behind China and Russia's reluctance to integrate into the global economy?

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I looked around me

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

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

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

Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

How can I get over a break up?

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

Anyway!

All the best!

It is almost impossible.

And..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

We now told, by Senator Grassley, that on the FBI form about the Biden bribery story, there is a Burisma exec who says he has 17 tapes of his deal with the Biden. 15 of Hunter and 2 of Joe Biden? What would this do to Hunter/Joe Biden if released?

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

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

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.

What is your prediction for the future of our society? How long do you think it will take for us to address and fix current issues?

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

How were cows used in ancient India?

“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.”

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

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).

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Found an empty bench..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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…

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

.

I vividly remember that evening.

Searched for my roll number.

I did not go back to my home.

And entered the park.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

And, I had not made it.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Keep your ego aside.

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.

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