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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Some men love anal sex more than vaginal sex. Why?

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

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

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

How do I remove the music from a movie or animation? I want to keep the audio from the dialogue and sound effects, but remove the music so that I can add my own.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

All achievers in their own way.

Russia’s central bank cuts interest rates for first time since 2022 - Financial Times

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

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

“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).”

Why don't the 'West' realize that the solution to the conflict in the Middle East is to end the "unlimited" support for Israel, and finally listen to the grievances of Israel's neighbors for a 'change'?

And, I had not made it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And entered the park.

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 Flat Earthers explain time zones?

“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.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Is Trump the greatest spiritual leader since Jesus?

Searched for my roll number.

I looked around me

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).

How did Madri, mother of Nakula and Sahadeva die?

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

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

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

All the best!

It is almost impossible.

How was your JEE 2024 result like?

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

While on the surface of the moon, why isn’t the Apollo 11 spacesuit inflated like a balloon from the 3.7 psi internal pressure?

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…

The batch sizes were huge!

Have you made a female relative or friend squirt?

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

I did not go back to my home.

Anyway!

Teens like me, what are your expectations when entering adulthood?

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Dropped them

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Your credentials do not matter!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I vividly remember that evening.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

.

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

Keep your ego aside.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

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.

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
