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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Cleared multiple of them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

How do Democrat Party voters feel about the fact that Kamala Harris never received one primary vote to be the nominee in 2020 and certainly not in 2024?

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

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

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

Why does the USA continue to be the driver of the world economy?

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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, I had not made it.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

But, then it hit me hard.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Your credentials do not matter!

Isn't it amazing that President Trump has Elon Musk in his corner and Kamala only has airheads like Taylor Swift in hers?

The batch sizes were huge!

It is almost impossible.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.”

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

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

I looked around me

And..

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.

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.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

And entered the park.

All the best!

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Searched for my roll number.

.

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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 alone in Delhi back then

Keep your ego aside.

“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?

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

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…

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