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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

The batch sizes were huge!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Found an empty bench..

What have you learned from your parents' mistakes?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Keep your ego aside.

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

Is there a correlation between sweating during sleep and high body temperature and sugar levels?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Cleared multiple of them

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.

Why is the government destroying the homeless instead of helping them?

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Where can I find BPO projects?

Anyway!

I was constantly staring into the ground

I vividly remember that evening.

What are some suggestions for books in English and Marathi language for my daughter for summer holiday? She is 15 years old.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Eius sequi culpa animi quod delectus deleniti deserunt.

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

And, I had not made it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

What’s the best AI coding tool for beginners?

Worked for a marketing agency

.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Why do older siblings always hate younger siblings?

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

Do very hot men ever feel attracted to an ugly woman? Why?

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

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..

What factors may contribute to intelligent individuals identifying as Republican rather than Democrat in the United States today?

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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).

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

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

Where did Noah build the Ark? Was it in a desert or near water?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?

And entered the park.

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

I looked around me

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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.

And..

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

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

“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).”

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

“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!

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

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Dropped them

I did not go back to my home.
