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

Your credentials do not matter!

All achievers in their own way.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

What is your favourite colour and why?

Cleared multiple of them

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).

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

Who won Bigg Boss 18?

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I vividly remember that evening.

Why is Elon Musk so ugly?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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…

Why do Christians think voting for Trump is any better than voting for Kamala Harris?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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).”

All the best!

And entered the park.

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

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

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

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

“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.”

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

.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I looked around me

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

It lasted approximately 10 months.

.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“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.”

Dropped them

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Found an empty bench..

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