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

All achievers in their own way.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

If women see themselves as free, dignified, human beings just as good as men, can Trump hang it up and just lose in a landslide at last? How can men who like and respect women help improve womens' self-esteem?

I vividly remember that evening.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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.”

.

Is it because Trump is impulsive that he is never on time?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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).

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

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

And, I had not made it.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

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.

All the best!

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Keep your ego aside.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I did not go back to my home.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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

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

Anyway!

Dropped them

“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).”

Found an empty bench..

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

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

I looked around me

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

And..

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

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Cleared multiple of them

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