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

I looked around me

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

“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.”

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

Keep your ego aside.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Why didn’t Obito confront Kakashi after he witnessed him kill Rin?

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

New Covid strain hits holiday hotspots as three new symptoms flagged - Cork Beo

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Will the opposition parties like NTK, AIADMK, BJP, TVK, etc. form a pre-election alliance in Tamil Nadu on a single agenda of defeating the DMK alliance in the state assembly elections 2026?

The batch sizes were huge!

.

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.

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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).”

What steps can be taken to track down a scammer and determine their location?

Anyway!

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

All the best!

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

And, I had not made it.

Off-the-shelf stem cell therapy for type 1 diabetes continues to show positive results - STAT

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Scientists make jaw-dropping find at base of Antarctic glacier: 'May be greatly underestimated' - Yahoo

Your credentials do not matter!

But, then it hit me hard.

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…

Can you show your wet and dripping pussy?

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Dicta numquam repudiandae corrupti labore ea facere.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And..

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Cleared multiple of them

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.

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

“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.”

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

And entered the park.

I was constantly staring into the ground

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

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

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