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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Est ad incidunt reiciendis ut aut.

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Cleared multiple of them

What are the defining characteristics of woke liberals and conservatives in the United States?

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

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

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

AI Experts say that, "with the advancement of AI, humans will stop coding within a few years." How much do you think this is true?

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Why do men like to have sex with a woman's ass?

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

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

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

Do liberals realise that God, who is much more powerful than them, is on the side of Trump?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Dropped them

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

And, I had not made it.

Found an empty bench..

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

Can you make a fake K-pop group? It can be with any idols.

.

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

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…

What was your most memorable combat mission during the Vietnam War?

“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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

My boyfriend has a major problem/addiction with watching porn, nude/sex scenes on movies and shows, watching hot young girls on tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, and onlyfans. He hides it and lies about it. Should I be concerned with him cheating? What do?

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

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.

How do romance scams typically operate? Do they always start by asking for money or do they sometimes begin with personal questions about the victim's life?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

Anyway!

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

I looked around me

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

All achievers in their own way.

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 exam has its own way of humbling you.

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

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.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

Your credentials do not matter!

Worked for a marketing agency

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And entered the park.

And..

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.”

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

All the best!

The batch sizes were huge!

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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