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

But, then it hit me hard.

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.

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…

New Pill Slashes “Bad” Cholesterol and Heart Attack Risk in Just 12 Weeks - SciTechDaily

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I looked around me

A new COVID variant is spreading across California. Could we see a summer surge? - Sacramento Bee

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

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

.

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Is there scientific evidence for reincarnation? If so, how does it work and can it be proven through regression therapy?

Found an empty bench..

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

And entered the park.

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Why does Hollywood (except Atilla and Agora) ignore the Late Roman Empire in favour of the early one?

Your credentials do not matter!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

“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 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 is almost impossible.

Worked for a marketing agency

All the best!

I’ve a dismissive avoidant partner who said that he’s overwhelmed by our relationship and that he wants to break up, how do I get him back?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

More seniors are using cannabis than ever before despite health risks, research shows - Fox News

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.

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.

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Keep your ego aside.

What is a mouse breather?

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

Dropped them

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

Why do people immediately disregard subjects such as flat earth, without opening their minds/taking time to research?

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).

And..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Anyway!

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

Searched for my roll number.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

All achievers in their own way.

Cleared multiple of them

I was alone in Delhi back then

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