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.

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

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.

I vividly remember that evening.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Dropped them

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And entered the park.

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

Keep your ego aside.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

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

According to Trump, Ukraine started the war. Why?

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

All achievers in their own way.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

My boyfriend has a major problem/addiction with watching porn, nude/sex scenes on movies and shows, watching hot young girls on tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, and onlyfans. He hides it and lies about it. Should I be concerned with him cheating? What do?

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

But, then it hit me hard.

I looked around me

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

What is the reason behind the Russian government's negative view on foreign travel?

“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.”

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.

Cleared multiple of them

Found an empty bench..

I did not go back to my home.

Worked for a marketing agency

And, I had not made it.

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

“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).”

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…

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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.

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).

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It is almost impossible.

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.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

All the best!

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Anyway!

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
