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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Do you think AI language models like Claude AI will ever be able to truly match someone's unique writing style?

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.

“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.”

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

I dreamt my mother had died and I cried so much in my dream. What does it mean?

I vividly remember that evening.

I did not go back to my home.

Searched for my roll number.

Why does it smell so bad? I noticed that when I move around my vagina has a stench. It’s usually a wet liquid, almost like pee. There’re little to no discharge and it doesn’t hurt or itch.

But, then it hit me hard.

I was alone in Delhi back then

It lasted approximately 10 months.

When was the first time you suck on a penis?

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.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Wes Anderson’s Movies Ranked From Worst to Best - The Hollywood Reporter

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

What historical event or person have you surprised hasn't been made into a Hollywood movie yet?

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

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

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

All the best!

All achievers in their own way.

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

Dropped them

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

Why do atheists demand that everyone must accept their own self-definition? Is that any different from demanding others must accept their choice among 87 genders or be labeled as a bigot?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Is Claude AI better than ChatGPT for Alexa?

Found an empty bench..

And..

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

Cleared multiple of them

The batch sizes were huge!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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…

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

“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).”

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

.

Anyway!

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.

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

I looked around me

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

It is almost impossible.

And entered the park.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
