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

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

.

Anyway!

How do I study with focus and concentration and avoid distractions and procrastination?

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…

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

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

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

Dropped them

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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).

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

I looked around me

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

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

Do conservative white women like black men?

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I vividly remember that evening.

I did not go back to my home.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

All the best!

And, I had not made it.

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

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.

And entered the park.

“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.”

Cleared multiple of them

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Worked for a marketing agency

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

“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).”

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

And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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.

Found an empty bench..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I was alone in Delhi back then
