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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

But, then it hit me hard.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Have anyone had an relationship of any kind with a spirit or demon, such as a succubus? If so, how was it?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

Anyway!

Why do many women in Turkey prefer to date blacks as a lover?

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

It is almost impossible.

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

How can I decorate my house creatively?

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

What was your experience when trying GHB?

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

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.

The batch sizes were huge!

I looked around me

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“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, I had not made it.

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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.

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

All the best!

.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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.

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

“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 did not go back to my home.

And..

“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I vividly remember that evening.

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…

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

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

And entered the park.

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

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

Dropped them

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).

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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