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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Why would Trump make conspiracy claims that Haitians are eating pets in Ohio?

And entered the park.

And..

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

Why did Lord Shiva lust after Mohini - how can he be the supreme and worthy of devotion if he did such a thing?

“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.”

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

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

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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

“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).”

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

Anyway!

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

“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 vividly remember that evening.

All the best!

I did not go back to my home.

Found an empty bench..

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

It is almost impossible.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was alone in Delhi back then

I looked around me

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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).

Searched for my roll number.

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

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, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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 was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

The batch sizes were huge!
