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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Does anybody believe in cultural appropriation?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

How can Substack help creators with their overall business strategy?

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

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

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

Debitis voluptas voluptatem ea sit.

And entered the park.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

It is almost impossible.

And, I had not made it.

What was the weakest period in US history in terms of military strength? Was it during World War II or the Vietnam War?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!

All the best!

I'm 35. What's the quickest way to grow my hair as long as females?

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.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada make changes to lure business amid Delaware’s ‘Dexit’ concern - AP News

“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.”

Keep your ego aside.

“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).”

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?

Found an empty bench..

Anyway!

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 vividly remember that evening.

.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I discovered the 5 plants that moles hate, to stop them from causing havoc in my backyard - Homes and Gardens

I looked around me

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I did not go back to my home.

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…

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

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

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).

Worked for a marketing agency

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.

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Cleared multiple of them

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

And..

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

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

Dropped them

All achievers in their own way.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I was alone in Delhi back then

“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.”

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