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

Anyway!

All achievers in their own way.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Can machines truly think? Can artificial intelligence surpass human intelligence, or is there an essential difference between human and machine cognition?

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?”

And entered the park.

What are the new technological advancements we should adopt?

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

How are Hinduism and Sikhism related, considering they both originated in Punjab, India?

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.

And..

Do you think the number of sissies is on the rise?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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…

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.

“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).”

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Is the Shia claim true that Imam Ali was born inside the Kaaba?

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.

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).

Searched for my roll number.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

I looked around me

Dropped them

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

But, then it hit me hard.

Found an empty bench..

All the best!

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I did not go back to my home.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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