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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

“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).”

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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.

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

Found an empty bench..

Your credentials do not matter!

And, I had not made it.

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

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.

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

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

“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.”

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

And..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Dropped them

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

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 entered the park.

I did not go back to my home.

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

I looked around me

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

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

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

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