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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Your credentials do not matter!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Searched for my roll number.

And entered the park.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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 looked around me

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I was constantly staring into the ground

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

“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).”

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

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

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

Dropped them

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

“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.”

Keep your ego aside.

It is almost impossible.

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
