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

I was alone in Delhi back then

And, I had not made it.

Your credentials do not matter!

If you get a chance to have sex with either Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, who would you choose and why?

Found an empty bench..

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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…

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

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

What were your fantasies when you reached puberty?

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Anyway!

Have you ever witnessed a remote beach show where hundreds of turtles crawling to the water?

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

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

“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).”

Ut cum et non.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

And entered the park.

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, 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 an element of probability that no one can predict.

Why don't we use the fastest possible processors in all devices?

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

I did not go back to my home.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

What contributed to the popularity of The Beatles' song 'Yesterday'? Was it due to its simplicity, lyrics, or other factors?

All achievers in their own way.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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.

Searched for my roll number.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Liberals, why can't you admit that Andrew Tate is the most moral and intelligent person of modern time?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

And..

Cleared multiple of them

“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.”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It is almost impossible.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I looked around me

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Dropped them

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

Keep your ego aside.

.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

All the best!

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

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

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