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

I vividly remember that evening.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

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, 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.”

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

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

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

And..

Why does my vagina always itch so badly after my periods?

And entered the park.

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.

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…

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

How often should you use red light therapy?

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).

Keep your ego aside.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Can you believe the scumbag Harris had a microphone in her earrings? Slime is a synonym for Democrat.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

“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.”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

“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).”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Searched for my roll number.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Anyway!

And, I had not made it.

I did not go back to my home.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

The batch sizes were huge!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

It is almost impossible.

I was constantly staring into the ground
