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

.

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).

And entered the park.

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

Searched for my roll number.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

What causes my mouth to be so dry at night my teeth sticks to my lips?

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

How can you determine which type of underwear to wear with different styles of clothing, such as dresses?

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 was alone in Delhi back then

I looked around me

“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.”

I did not go back to my home.

Cleared multiple of them

Are there any industries or sectors where ChatGPT is particularly well-suited for implementation?

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

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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.

“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

How do I know if he loves me? When he wants me to be his gf he make time for me and send me morning and night messages and done everything to melt my heart. Now I am his gf and he don't treat me that way now.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

What is the Gemini AI tool?

Anyway!

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

All achievers in their own way.

And, I had not made it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

All the best!

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

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

.

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

It is almost impossible.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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)

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Dropped them

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Your credentials do not matter!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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.”

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