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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Searched for my roll number.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Cleared multiple of them

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

Is the Shia claim true that Imam Ali was born inside the Kaaba?

“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).”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

All the best!

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Am I the bitch for never wanting to talk to my sister again because of something she said while talking back to me?

I did not go back to my home.

I vividly remember that evening.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Why did my ex move on so fast, we have only been broken up for 2 weeks?

“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.”

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.

Dropped them

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

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

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

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

I looked around me

All achievers in their own way.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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, I had not made it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

And..

But, then it hit me hard.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Anyway!

.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

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

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