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

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

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back 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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

And..

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

When a narcissist mad at their new supply, do they take it out on the old supply?

Anyway!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Found an empty bench..

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

“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.”

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

Searched for my roll number.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And entered the park.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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.

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

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

I did not go back to my home.

.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Dropped them

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

“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.”

All achievers in their own way.

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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I was constantly staring into the ground
