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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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…

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

Dropped them

Cleared multiple of them

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And, I had not made it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Anyway!

How do you feel about Trump saying Ukraine 'should have never started war with Russia'?

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

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

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

Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I looked around me

Your credentials do not matter!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

But, then it hit me hard.

Found an empty bench..

All achievers in their own way.

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“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.”

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

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

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

.

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

And entered the park.

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.

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Searched for my roll number.

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

All the best!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Keep your ego aside.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

It is almost impossible.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

.

“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).”

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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).

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.
