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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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…

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

And..

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Circle IPO soars, giving hope to more startups waiting to go public - TechCrunch

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Over-the-counter supplement could prevent heart disease in type 2 diabetes patients - Medical Xpress

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I was alone in Delhi back then

What are some examples of unofficial acts by presidents?

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

But, then it hit me hard.

How Elon Musk Is Reinventing Tesla’s Strategy - WSJ

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

When you have seven hours to kill, what should one do?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?

All the best!

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

I looked around me

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Anyway!

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

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

.

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.

Searched for my roll number.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

And entered the park.

“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).”

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Found an empty bench..

It is almost impossible.

Cleared multiple of them

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Keep your ego aside.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
