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

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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).

What does it mean to dream about demons possessing people, and what can be done about this dream that keeps occurring for years?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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 did not go back to my home.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

Found an empty bench..

Dropped them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Do you have any opinion on Japanese writer/actor Yukio Mishima?

“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.”

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

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

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

Anyway!

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.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

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

It is almost impossible.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Searched for my roll number.

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

And..

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I looked around me

I vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

All the best!

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And, I had not made it.

“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).”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
