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

“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.”

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

What's a memory from your childhood that shaped who you are today?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

And entered the park.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And..

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 go back to my home.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

“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 vividly remember that evening.

And, I had not made it.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Worked for a marketing agency

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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 was constantly staring into the ground

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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).”
