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

And..

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Can a white person wear a bonnet to bed?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

Australia's Qantas to close budget airline Jetstar Asia - BBC

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

Found an empty bench..

But, then it hit me hard.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It is almost impossible.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

Why is it after eating almonds when I’m occupied, I don’t feel mild itch, but as soon as I have nothing to do, I feel mildly itchy?

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

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

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’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

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

I did not go back to my home.

Searched for my roll number.

And, I had not made it.

And entered the park.

Dropped them

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

“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).”

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

.

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

I looked around me

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

All achievers in their own way.

Cleared multiple of them

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).

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

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

All the best!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!

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.

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.
