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

Searched for my roll number.

Anyway!

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

What does it mean when I have a dream where my friend died? I had this dream last night where one of my friends died in a shootout and I woke up crying.

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

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

And entered the park.

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

What are Best Breakfast Places in Pune?

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

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

And, I had not made it.

Dropped them

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

How many girls or guys keep extra pantyhose in their glove box or console of their vehicle?

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?”

I looked around me

“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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

What would you change in Rings of Power?

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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…

Why does my best friend call me ugly and act like she’s joking, but today she looked at me and said “I wouldn’t lie to you”? What should I say back to her?

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Why is the government destroying the homeless instead of helping them?

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

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.

And..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.

But, then it hit me hard.

Found an empty bench..

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).

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

.

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

“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.”

I vividly remember that evening.

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

“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.”

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

All the best!

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

I did not go back to my home.

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