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

Worked for a marketing agency

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.

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

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Have you ever dealt with a Christian narcissist?

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.

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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…

Cleared multiple of them

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“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 batch sizes were huge!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And entered the park.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

All the best!

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).”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Keep your ego aside.

I looked around me

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

Dropped them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

I did not go back to my home.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

All achievers in their own way.

And..

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

It is almost impossible.

Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Anyway!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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).

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

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

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

“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.”

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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