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

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

I looked around me

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.

Is it appropriate for parents to discipline their child in public if the child is being rude, disrespectful, and unruly towards them? Why or why not?

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And, I had not made it.

“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.”

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Anyway!

But, then it hit me hard.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Your credentials do not matter!

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Cleared multiple of them

Searched for my roll number.

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

Keep your ego aside.

“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.”

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

It is almost impossible.

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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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).

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

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