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

Searched for my roll number.

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

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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

Anyway!

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

I looked around me

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

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, 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.”

Found an empty bench..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Why does it seem that Quora's "moderators" base their moderations on personal beliefs and views by deleting answers that are only violating their personal feelings?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

I was constantly staring into the ground

All the best!

“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.

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 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.

And entered the park.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.

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.

“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).”

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Dropped them

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

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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