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

Your credentials do not matter!

Anyway!

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

A 41-year-old longevity doctor says his 'biological age' is 24. He takes 3 supplements daily. - Business Insider

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.

How do you feel about Trump saying Ukraine 'should have never started war with Russia'?

It is almost impossible.

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

All the best!

The batch sizes were huge!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I vividly remember that evening.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Cleared multiple of them

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

What is one thing which you cannot stop however hard you try?

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

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

Why can’t Trump campaign on the real issues facing America rather than insulting the character of VP Harris? Does MAGA actually believe this tactic will work?

Searched for my roll number.

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.

.

Will MAGATS boycott Taylor Swift now that she and Travis are supporting Harris?

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

And entered the park.

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

Judge denies Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ second request for mistrial, likens cross-examination to ‘Perry Mason moment’ - CNN

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

Keep your ego aside.

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 it wrong for me, a 14-year-old girl, to read dark romance?

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).

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

What were the career paths of each member of "The Monkees" after the band disbanded? Did any of them have successful music careers?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

But, then it hit me hard.

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

“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.”

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

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

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

.

“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.”

Found an empty bench..

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, I had not made it.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I looked around me

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

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…

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

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

“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 was alone in Delhi back then

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

Dropped them

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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