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

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

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

Anyway!

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Searched for my roll number.

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

It is almost impossible.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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.

Are rich people harder workers than poor people as a whole?

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!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

What are some good series or movies like GOT in the fantasy genre?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Keep your ego aside.

All achievers in their own way.

Do I need a Walmart account?

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Dropped them

.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

I looked around me

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, I had not made it.

“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).”

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And entered the park.

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

I did not go back to my home.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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.

All the best!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And..

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

“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.”

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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).

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Found an empty bench..
