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

I looked around me

Cleared multiple of them

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

How do you get started in bestiality with a dog as a male?

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

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

And..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Why did we evolve to have so many nerve endings in our anuses?

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.

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

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…

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

And entered the park.

Is it normal to hate my dog, but feel too guilty to get rid of him?

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

.

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

What do you like the most about black people?

It is almost impossible.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Why do we exist, and why are we conscious?

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

What are the gifts you got when you cleared JEE ?

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Keep your ego aside.

What did your best friend do that ended your friendship?

I vividly remember that evening.

And, I had not made it.

“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.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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).

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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).”

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Found an empty bench..

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

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

All the best!

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

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

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

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

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

Dropped them

All achievers in their own way.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Anyway!

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

But, then it hit me hard.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
