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

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

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

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.

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

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

And, I had not made it.

Is it normal to hate my dog, but feel too guilty to get rid of him?

Keep your ego aside.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

And..

I vividly remember that evening.

The batch sizes were huge!

What do you think of Hegseth calling The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, "a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes” after team Trump texted him their top-secret war plans on Yemen?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

What are some cool confidence hacks?

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

All the best!

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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.

“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).”

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

“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, 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.”

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not go back to my home.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

And entered the park.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Dropped them

Searched for my roll number.

Cleared multiple of them

All achievers in their own way.

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
