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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Keep your ego aside.

I vividly remember that evening.

Updates To UFC 317: Topuria vs Oliveira - UFC.com

And..

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

How do people break a narcissist man's ego?

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.

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

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

Why is the French way to say please is "S'il te plaît" and not "Pour Favour" like Spanish and Portuguese "Per Favor" and Italian "Per Favore" in the Romance languages group?

I looked around me

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

“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.”

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).

Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?

And, I had not made it.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Margaret Cho says Ellen DeGeneres was 'not nice' to her for most of her career: 'It's so creepy and weird' - Entertainment Weekly

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

The batch sizes were huge!

“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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Why The Simpsons stopped producing Maude Flanders episodes?

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

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.

Would people still care about Palestine if there was no Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

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

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

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

Why does my best friend call me ugly and act like she’s joking, but today she looked at me and said “I wouldn’t lie to you”? What should I say back to her?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

Is there any way for Zelensky to prevent the United States and Russia from harming Ukraine's interests?

Searched for my roll number.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

All the best!

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I did not go back to my home.

Your credentials do not matter!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

Dropped them

Found an empty bench..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

Worked for a marketing agency

It is almost impossible.

.

All achievers in their own way.

Anyway!

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

“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).”

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
