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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

What are some ways to cope with paranoid thoughts about being gangstalked or targeted individuals?

Cleared multiple of them

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

Why are details for questions here on Quora so limited? I have an account here on Quora and Yahoo Answers. I like discussing different subjects.

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

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

And entered the park.

Does the land of Israel rightfully belongs to the Muslims as many Muslims strongly believe, and should Israelite Jews give up ownership of Israel to the Muslims to ensure peace in the Middle East?

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

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

My boyfriend has been separated from his wife for 5 years. Why won't he divorce her? Should this be a deal breaker?

And..

All achievers in their own way.

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

Quia et magnam illo.

Searched for my roll number.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

A kid threw a stone at my car. I confronted his mom (who was nearby). She said, "You can't prove it was my son." How should I have reacted?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Dropped them

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

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

“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.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

What is the reason behind people believing in the concept of causation, even though it cannot be proven or deemed necessary for everything to exist?

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

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

I looked around me

J.K. Rowling said that 65% of people in Britain are transgender. Where did she come up with that statistic?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.

What do men like to be given for their birthday?

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

“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).”

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

All the best!

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Found an empty bench..

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

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.

Anyway!

“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.”

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

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).

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

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…

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

I did not go back to my home.
