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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

Why would the United States need a fleet of the F-47 fighter jet fielded in the 2030s?

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

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

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

Where can Ukrainians go if they cannot have shelter and heating this winter?

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 was alone in Delhi back then

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Anyway!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I’ve a dismissive avoidant partner who said that he’s overwhelmed by our relationship and that he wants to break up, how do I get him back?

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

What kind of book did you write after turning 55?

Searched for my roll number.

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).

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Dropped them

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

“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.”

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…

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

What kinds of books should a 19 years old girl read?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

And, I had not made it.

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

I looked around me

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

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

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

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

And..

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

It is almost impossible.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

All the best!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And entered the park.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not go back to my home.
