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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

What are some things that children used to wait for, but are no longer common in today's society?

Anyway!

I was constantly staring into the ground

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Can you provide some examples of music with a free form structure?

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.

“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.”

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

Cleared multiple of them

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Why do siblings (or other close relatives) stop visiting each other as they grow older? Why does this happen with so many people nowadays?

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I vividly remember that evening.

And entered the park.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

Culpa maxime qui ut ut aut in.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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.

All the best!

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

Ok, so this is a question seeking an answer to clear up whatever gymnastics are in my head. I'm a moderately attractive guy, sincere heart, genuinely looking to love another, established. Why don't women that I'm attracted to, want me back?

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Will MAGATS boycott Taylor Swift now that she and Travis are supporting Harris?

.

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

I did not go back to my home.

Dropped them

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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…

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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).

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

And..

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, I had not made it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Keep your ego aside.

Found an empty bench..

I looked around me

“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).”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
