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

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

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.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

How good is KIIT school of management at Bhubaneswar?

And..

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

.

Have you ever had a secret crush on anyone?

I was constantly staring into the ground

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Libtards argue Obama deported more people than Trump, but if that were true why weren't they comparing Obama to Idi Amin?

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

And entered the park.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

“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 move for the next 30 minutes..

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.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

Dropped them

What questions will be asked by the executive director of JP Morgan for 6 years of experience in Java? The technical rounds are already cleared.

Anyway!

All the best!

And, I had not made it.

Does the land of Israel rightfully belongs to the Muslims as many Muslims strongly believe, and should Israelite Jews give up ownership of Israel to the Muslims to ensure peace in the Middle East?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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.”

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 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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

I looked around me

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It is almost impossible.

Searched for my roll number.

I did not go back to my home.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Cleared multiple of them

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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