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

Dropped them

I vividly remember that evening.

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.

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

.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

What happens when your partner doesn't see the value in you and continuously hurts you by searching for something in others knowing it hurts you?

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

I looked around me

It is almost impossible.

And, I had not made it.

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

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

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

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

I have been married for 34 years, and I found out my wife lied, and cheated a lot back before we got married. Does she not change, or is it possible she is still a cheater?

Keep your ego aside.

“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.”

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Worked for a marketing agency

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

What is the best way to get clients to a call center?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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.

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

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

And..

And entered the park.

Homophobia is clearly a harmful mental sickness. What can LGBT people do to cure it?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Why do atheists demand that everyone must accept their own self-definition? Is that any different from demanding others must accept their choice among 87 genders or be labeled as a bigot?

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

Found an empty bench..

Your credentials do not matter!

The batch sizes were huge!

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

All achievers in their own way.

All the best!

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

“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).”

.

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.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Cleared multiple of them

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

But, then it hit me hard.

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.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Anyway!

Searched for my roll number.

“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.”

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

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