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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

What's your photograph of the day 1097?

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.

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

All achievers in their own way.

Found an empty bench..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Do you think President-Elect Donald Trump won the presidency fair and square, or do you think the GOP resorted to blatant unlawful practices to tilt the election?

And entered the park.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was constantly staring into the ground

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

I looked around me

Quo perferendis neque at temporibus pariatur quis.

“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.”

Keep your ego aside.

.

Do liberals realise that God, who is much more powerful than them, is on the side of Trump?

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Dropped them

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

“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 ..

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not go back to my home.

Anyway!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And..

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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…

All the best!

.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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.”
