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

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.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

“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.”

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

Is it considered rude to comment on someone's weight? Is it simply stating a fact?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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).

“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).”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

It is almost impossible.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I looked around me

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

And..

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Anyway!

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.
