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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Anyway!

Do you as a gay male enjoy the feeling of getting a penis in your anus?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Have you ever answered your door in lingerie?

“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).”

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..

What To Expect in the Markets This Week - Investopedia

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

And, I had not made it.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

How do I rat my boss out for serial cheating on his wife?

Keep your ego aside.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Your credentials do not matter!

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..

But, then it hit me hard.

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

WWE Raw results (6/23): Powell's live review of Cody Rhodes vs. Jey Uso in a KOTR semifinal match, Jade Cargill vs. Roxanne Perez in a QOTR semifinal match, Becky Lynch vs. Bayley for the Women's IC Title - Pro Wrestling Dot Net

The batch sizes were huge!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Found an empty bench..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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.”

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I looked around me

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

Dropped them

All achievers in their own way.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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.

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

“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.”

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

All the best!

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

It is almost impossible.

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

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

.

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

.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.

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

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

And entered the park.
