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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

Dropped them

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

What is your prediction for the future of our society? How long do you think it will take for us to address and fix current issues?

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

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

“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, I had not made it.

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

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

“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.”

Why are Americans obese? Is it the food or is it the psychology?

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

What is the XXX XXX Keerna Kappor video?

Keep your ego aside.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I looked around me

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

What is your review of The Office (U.S. TV series)?

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

It is almost impossible.

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

Do you agree with Michael Moore that Donald Trump is "toast" in a political comeback?

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

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.

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

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

Has anyone ever participated in a gang bang and what was it like?

Anyway!

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

What would happen if Kakashi and Naruto switched places?

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

I vividly remember that evening.

And entered the park.

I did not go back to my home.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Found an empty bench..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

All achievers in their own way.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

.

All the best!

Cleared multiple of them

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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).

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

And..

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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