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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

“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.”

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 is the cause of the common odor many senior citizens have (despite good hygiene)?

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

But, then it hit me hard.

I looked around me

Does having the wrong address on my car insurance invalidate my policy?

And, I had not made it.

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

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

What are some difficulties in a JEE aspirant's life?

It is almost impossible.

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

All achievers in their own way.

Why am I tired all the time?

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

All the best!

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

“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.”

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

What is the difference between "eher" and " lieber" in German? Are the two synonyms? If yes, then which one is the most used?

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.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Found an empty bench..

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

How does Google Gemini 2.0 work?

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

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

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.

How do the police verify the authenticity of an online profile? What methods do they use to determine if a profile is real or fake?

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

The batch sizes were huge!

Anyway!

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

.

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

.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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.

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

“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).”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Dropped them

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Your credentials do not matter!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Searched for my roll number.

And..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And entered the park.

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

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

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

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

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