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

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

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

What is better? Tik Tok or YouTube?

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Searched for my roll number.

Is it true that people who are possessed by demons cannot see them until the demon is cast out? What is the reason for this?

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

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

“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.”

How can someone get patrons on Patreon if they are a beginner artist?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Dropped them

I was constantly staring into the ground

Is BPD real or just an excuse?

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Have you ever seen your wife being fucked?

All achievers in their own way.

.

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

Eveniet dolor unde ut ut praesentium ut aperiam.

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

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

Found an empty bench..

Cleared multiple of them

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…

“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).”

Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?

It is almost impossible.

.

All the best!

But, then it hit me hard.

And..

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).

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

“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

What is it like to have an insanely beautiful girlfriend?

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

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.

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

Has anyone been tricked into having sex with a shemale? How was the experience?

I looked around me

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

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Anyway!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Keep your ego aside.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I did not go back to my home.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

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 was alone in Delhi back then

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

And entered the park.

I vividly remember that evening.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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