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

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

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

Is data science, machine learning, and AI very difficult? I’ve learned some Android development, but I didn’t like it. Should I learn Python, data science, machine learning? I like math and machine learning have a better growth rate

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

Anyway!

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

Oldest human DNA ever found tells the story of a lost branch on the human family tree - Earth.com

Searched for my roll number.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

Why do guys look up TikTok girls instead of porn? My boyfriend of two years, looks up big boobs on TikTok. He has never once cheated on me, not on social media or IRL. He claims it’s to “get off real quick if I’m not home.”

Worked for a marketing agency

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

“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.”

What is GPT-4?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Dropped them

Why am I tired all the time?

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.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

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

Keep your ego aside.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

It is almost impossible.

“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).”

How was your JEE Mains 2024 April attempt?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

And entered the park.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And, I had not made it.

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

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 vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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…

I did not go back to my home.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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).

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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

The batch sizes were huge!

And..

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Cleared multiple of them

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All the best!

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

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

I looked around me

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