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

But, then it hit me hard.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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.

Why are most people broke?

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

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

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

Why do I want to suck cock, after smoking methamphetamine?

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

All achievers in their own way.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Why do Canadians think Canada is a viable country? Countries to be considered countries need to be mostly self-reliant, not dependent on another for survival. If we banned trade, Canada would go bankrupt bc you wouldn't get to offset your losses.

.

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

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

Why do atheists not love a G-d that does not stop punishing them harder and harder in this world and the next until they surrender to Him?

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

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.

“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 vividly remember that evening.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Cleared multiple of them

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..

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

I looked around me

All the best!

What traits are considered unattractive? Which traits are typically seen as attractive and why?

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

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

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

Aut ut accusantium quos sint ad aperiam.

The batch sizes were huge!

Dropped them

And, I had not made it.

What are some good series or movies like GOT in the fantasy genre?

Searched for my roll number.

I was alone in Delhi back then

I did not go back to my home.

How do you go about getting invited to an orgy?

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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

And entered the park.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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…

Your credentials do not matter!

Worked for a marketing agency

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Anyway!

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

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.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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