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

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

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

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

What would happen if the US government told the British government in no uncertain terms all RAF bases with USAF personnel now must follow the Constitution and us law, and if the UK tried to defy this, the US military would directly attack the UK?

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

The batch sizes were huge!

What stood as a symbol of Hollywood glamor and elegance?

All achievers in their own way.

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.

Dropped them

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Can being annoyed be a sign of getting angry?

I vividly remember that evening.

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

.

Why can't people in the West see that the war in Ukraine is clearly being waged against Russia with Ukraine being the proxy?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Davante Adams feels rejuvenated: Joining Rams was "exactly what I needed" - NBC Sports

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

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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 alone in Delhi back then

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Cleared multiple of them

Searched for my roll number.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

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).

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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 exam has its own way of humbling you.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And entered the park.

But, then it hit me hard.

Found an empty bench..

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

I looked around me

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

.

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

And, I had not made it.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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