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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

How can someone feel more FTM when AMAB?

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

And..

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

I listened to Kamala Harris speech she gave in North Carolina. I support 100% of what she said. I am more and more in favor of a Kamala Harris presidency if Biden becomes unable to be our president! Do you find yourself supporting Kamala Harris now?

The batch sizes were huge!

And, I had not made it.

Cleared multiple of them

We white women don't like white men. Do you have any issue with that?

I did not go back to my home.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

All achievers in their own way.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

What are the psychological reasons behind an extreme obsession with another human being?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

Was Michael Jackson really an innocent person?

Your credentials do not matter!

It is almost impossible.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Dropped them

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

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

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

Nintendo's Strict Policy On MiG Carts Is Creating A Problem For Secondhand Switch 2 Buyers - Nintendo Life

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).”

But, then it hit me hard.

What is your review of "Regent", episode 5 of Season 2 House of the Dragon?

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

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

“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

All the best!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I vividly remember that evening.

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

“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.”

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

And entered the park.

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

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?”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

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…

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

.

Found an empty bench..

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I looked around me

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

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

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

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

Anyway!

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).

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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