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

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

All the best!

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

What are the latest trends in commercial interior design in Noida?

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Why are Trump's and Khan's experiences with authorities in the US and Pakistan similar?

And..

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

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

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

“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’s one positive trait you’ve gained because of BPD?

It is almost impossible.

All achievers in their own way.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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.

Is it wrong of me to feel uncomfortable that my friend thinks my brother is hot?

Keep your ego aside.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

What is the most eccentric thing you own? How did you get it?

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

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

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

What do you think about me (Aditya Krishna)?

Cleared multiple of them

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

And entered the park.

What are the best recruiting tools available besides Linkedin and job boards?

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I did not go back to my home.

What are the best AI tools for recruiting?

“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.”

“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).”

Worked for a marketing agency

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

Found an empty bench..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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).

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

.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Searched for my roll number.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

.

Anyway!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

Dropped them

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

And, I had not made it.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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…

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground
