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

“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.”

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

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

Why are men today so pussiefied?

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I looked around me

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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).”

Can you share some of your favorite jokes that are not well-known but always make people laugh?

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

But, then it hit me hard.

All achievers in their own way.

What are some tips to stay young?

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

Is there a future where LA's wildfire seasons no longer exist?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not go back to my home.

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.

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

.

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

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.

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.

All the best!

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I was alone in Delhi back then

It is almost impossible.

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

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.

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

.

And, I had not made it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
