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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All achievers in their own way.

Does a narcissist ever get their comeuppance/karma for the vile things they've done? Such as cheating, smear campaign, etc.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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…

What are some interview experiences with JP Morgan India?

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

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

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

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

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

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

How quickly can you gain muscle by only consuming milk and chicken breasts, without using any supplements such as creatine or whey isolate?

All the best!

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).

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Will Ukraine eventually return to Russia's sphere of influence?

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Eastern District of Virginia | U.S. Government seizes approximately 145 criminal marketplace domains - Department of Justice (.gov)

I did not go back to my home.

And..

Anyway!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Dropped them

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

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

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

What motivated you to start reading books in English? What was the first book you read in English?

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.

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.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Is there a correlation between sweating during sleep and high body temperature and sugar levels?

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I want to touch my sister’s boobs. What do I say?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

“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.”

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Searched for my roll number.

I was alone in Delhi back then

And entered the park.

“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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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).”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And, I had not made it.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Cleared multiple of them

.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

I looked around me

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
