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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Anyway!

LAFC beat Club América to qualify for Club World Cup and play against Chelsea - We Ain't Got No History

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

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

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

‘I lost out to the better guy’ – Norris ‘confident’ he can improve after being beaten by Piastri in Barcelona - Formula 1

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was constantly staring into the ground

What are hygiene habits that everyone should have?

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Keep your ego aside.

If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?

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).

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Is it helpful to justify the reason for a breakup when ending a relationship?

Cleared multiple of them

And entered the park.

All the best!

Which is a better option, a love marriage or an arranged marriage in India?

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

But, then it hit me hard.

Why can’t Trump campaign on the real issues facing America rather than insulting the character of VP Harris? Does MAGA actually believe this tactic will work?

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

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

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

Salary you need to live comfortably in Virginia in 2025, according to new study - 13newsnow.com

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

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

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

A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever..

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

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

Neuroscientists find individual differences in memory response to amygdala stimulation - PsyPost

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

It is almost impossible.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

When do you feel most peaceful ever?

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

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

“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.”

Distinctio minus aut doloribus vero minima ut vitae.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

.

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

Citadel's Esposito says US deficit is a 'ticking time bomb' - Yahoo Finance

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Found an empty bench..

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

Dropped them

“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 did not go back to my home.

All achievers in their own way.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Searched for my roll number.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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…

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

And..

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

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

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.

I vividly remember that evening.

The batch sizes were huge!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

I looked around me
