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

.

Searched for my roll number.

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

In what circumstances might a chaperone be appropriate for a medical examination?

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

What makes girls masturbate?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

Why do men date women they are not really interested in?

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

But, then it hit me hard.

“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).”

All the best!

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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.

Why aren't there any Indian girls married to Chinese guys but Chinese girls married to Indian guys?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Cleared multiple of them

Is BPD real or just an excuse?

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).

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

Anyway!

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I looked around me

Found an empty bench..

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

Do you think some men have sex with prostitutes because they're too afraid to talk to women? Money does the talking for them.

.

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…

The batch sizes were huge!

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

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

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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

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

And, I had not made it.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

And entered the park.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I vividly remember that evening.

Dropped them

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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.
