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

And..

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

What are some innovative business ideas for leveraging AI in 2024?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

All the best!

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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.”

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 entered the park.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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.

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.

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…

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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).

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Worked for a marketing agency

It is almost impossible.

Cleared multiple of them

Found an empty bench..

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

And, I had not made it.

“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.

“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).”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Anyway!

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
