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

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

And entered the park.

Does believing in God and Satan cause schizophrenia?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I looked around me

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I did not go back to my home.

“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.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Why do Canadians think Canada is a viable country? Countries to be considered countries need to be mostly self-reliant, not dependent on another for survival. If we banned trade, Canada would go bankrupt bc you wouldn't get to offset your losses.

.

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.

Do Republicans give permission to Democrats to vote for any candidate except for Kamala Harris?

And, I had not made it.

Cleared multiple of them

It is almost impossible.

How did a computer scientist such as Geoffrey Hinton manage to win a Nobel Prize in physics when computer science already has its own Nobel Prize equivalent in the Turing Awards?

I vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was alone in Delhi back then

All achievers in their own way.

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

What is the one thing you don't understand that others do?

Dropped them

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

How can one translate "You're welcome" from English to French using formal language? Are there any other ways to say this phrase in a more polite manner?

Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And..

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

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

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

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.

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

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

Anyway!

The batch sizes were huge!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Keep your ego aside.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Your credentials do not matter!

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

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).

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

But, then it hit me hard.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

“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).”

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

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

All the best!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
