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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

How does it feel to have sex with a 40 year old curvy aunty?

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Is it possible to become homeless after being released from jail or prison in the United States?

And entered the park.

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

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

What are some mind-blowing facts about Michael Jackson?

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.

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

I've tried to write a Kindle eBook and have published it on Amazon. But the thing is that I haven't made any sales yet even though I published it nearly 6 months ago. How do I get people to purchase it?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Your credentials do not matter!

It is almost impossible.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Cleared multiple of them

Is Andrew Tate wanting to volunteer for the IDF to fight terrorism a way to avoid justice by the courts who have charged him with human trafficking?

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

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

What happens in Sweden if you cannot pay a hospital debt you did not know about until recently but willing to pay when your finances improve?

The batch sizes were huge!

All the best!

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

What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?

Found an empty bench..

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

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).

I did not go back to my home.

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 looked around me

What is a sermon to talk about men?

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“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.”

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

Anyway!

Worked for a marketing agency

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, I had not made it.

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

“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).”

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Dropped them

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Searched for my roll number.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

.

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

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

And..

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.

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

“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.”
