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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Keep your ego aside.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Dropped them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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, I had not made it.

In an interview Donald Trump said Taylor Swift could be a success in the music industry if she was not so liberal. What do you think? Is Trump correct that Swift is failing as a singer and should listen to his advice about her politics?

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

Searched for my roll number.

“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.”

Why do Democrats never produce a good argument for why Trump was a bad president?

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.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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.

How do you view men and women who cheat?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Anyway!

The batch sizes were huge!

“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 entered the park.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I looked around me

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

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).

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I vividly remember that evening.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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.

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

It is almost impossible.

.

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

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

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

“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.”

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

Found an empty bench..

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And..
