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

Keep your ego aside.

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

I am skinny, I have been doing 100 pushups a day for more than a month and am seeing very few results, everything is so unfair, I workout more than anyone I know and am still skinny, why cant I build muscle?

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

“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).”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

What if Supergirl was a baby and not a teenager when she left Krypton? Who do you think will find her? What do you think things would be like?

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And entered the park.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

What was your first gay male experience?

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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.

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.

“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.”

Is the timing of OpenAI’s deployment of Times-trained multimodal models coinciding with Microsoft’s boost in market capitalization in the past year just a coincidence?

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

But, then it hit me hard.

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

And, I had not made it.

What do you think about me (Aditya Krishna)?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I looked around me

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It is almost impossible.

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

.

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Dropped them

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

All the best!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

“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.”

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
