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

Dropped them

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

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

Would you let your son wear leggings to school?

I looked around me

It is almost impossible.

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

As a Chinese, what disgusts you about the Chinese society today?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.

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

Keep your ego aside.

How do I get off Paxil?

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

Anyway!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

How many wishes do people get on their birthday?

“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).”

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

I did not go back to my home.

Who is Harold Lloyd?

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

.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Found an empty bench..

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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…

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

And entered the park.

Your credentials do not matter!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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.”

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

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

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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 vividly remember that evening.
