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

All the best!

I did not go back to my home.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Why do you think Filipinos are conservatives?

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

I looked around me

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

What are the best moistening cream and sunscreen for oily skin?

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

How do I maintain my hair extensions/wigs?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

All achievers in their own way.

Libtards argue Obama deported more people than Trump, but if that were true why weren't they comparing Obama to Idi Amin?

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

“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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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).

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

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 vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

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

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.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

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.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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, 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.”

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.

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

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

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)

And..

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

Anyway!

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

Keep your ego aside.

And entered the park.
