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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Searched for my roll number.

Dolorem suscipit perferendis ea aut quo et ea.

.

It is almost impossible.

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.

What causes you to be tired all the time and major headaches?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

But, then it hit me hard.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

How do I maintain my hair extensions/wigs?

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

All achievers in their own way.

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.

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

All the best!

I looked around me

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“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.”

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

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

And..

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).

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

.

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

I did not go back to my 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).”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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…

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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

Anyway!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
