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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

How terrible are we at making future predictions of like technology?

Anyway!

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

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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

.

And, I had not made it.

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

Can I bring a tub of whey protein to the airport?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

“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.”

All the best!

Why after 50 years of being straight do I constantly desire to suck cock?

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…

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

I vividly remember that evening.

The batch sizes were huge!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And..

Worked for a marketing agency

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

“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.”

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.

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Your credentials do not matter!

And entered the park.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Searched for my roll number.

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

Cleared multiple of them

All achievers in their own way.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I looked around me

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

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