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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

Why does it itch on my vulva, uterus, and sides of my vagina, but it doesn't itch inside the vagina?

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

How do you get free followers on TikTok in 5 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.”

I vividly remember that evening.

Your credentials do not matter!

Why did the UK Supreme Court rule that transgender women are not women?

“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.”

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

What do people with very high IQs do all day?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

Cleared multiple of them

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.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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…

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

And..

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

Anyway!

All the best!

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

“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).”

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

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).

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

And entered the park.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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