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

“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.”

“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 alone in Delhi back then

Hillary thinks we must censor or "we lose total control". Why does she demand total control?

Dropped them

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

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

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

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Is it safe to say that China is at least 30 years ahead of India?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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…

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Worked for a marketing agency

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

And..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Anyway!

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

And entered the park.

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.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Found an empty bench..

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

“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.”

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

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.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

“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).”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

It is almost impossible.

Your credentials do not matter!

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