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

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..

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

No One in the Movies Stays Dead Anymore - Yahoo

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

“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.”

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

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

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 was constantly staring into the ground

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

I did not go back to my home.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

And entered the park.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Anyway!

All the best!

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

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.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Keep your ego aside.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

Dropped them

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

“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).”

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).

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

Worked for a marketing agency

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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