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

But, then it hit me hard.

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.”

How many women have accidentally pooped their pants and became turned on afterwards?

.

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

“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 are some reasons why some men choose to live alone instead of getting married?

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

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).

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

We were all expecting an Iran / Israel / Trump the " Axis of Bullshit " war show as an " October Surprise", we all know they're colluding to try & help Trump win, are we smart enough to ignore their BS and vote blue?

Keep your ego aside.

Anyway!

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

I live in Massachusetts. Are there any resources here for people that are being harassed by voice to skull, 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…

All achievers in their own way.

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

Why do I get bored with porn so quickly? I can watch maybe half a video (5 mins max) and then get bored and do something else. I don't watch porn often, just a teenager. 17.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Your credentials do not matter!

Andrew Tate or Nas Daily, who do you prefer more?

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

It is almost impossible.

Are greedy private sector landlords responsible for Britain's housing crisis?

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I looked around me

And..

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

Consequuntur dolor explicabo ipsa autem vel eos et.

And, I had not made it.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

What questions would you ask to an AI?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

Cleared multiple of them

I did not go back to my home.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

.

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

And entered the park.

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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.

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

Dropped them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

All the best!

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

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

Found an empty bench..

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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