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

“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).”

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

And entered the park.

What are the potential side effects of combining Clonazepam and Propranolol?

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Anyway!

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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…

All achievers in their own way.

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

“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.”

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Searched for my roll number.

Worked for a marketing agency

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).

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, I had not made it.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Your credentials do not matter!

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.

Found an empty bench..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
