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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

What is the nastiest thing you had your wife do and she loved it?

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

Found an empty bench..

Worked for a marketing agency

Have you ever answered your door in lingerie?

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

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

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

Do you think the beginning of movies is often better than the rest of the film? Is this a common opinion or do others share this view?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

All achievers in their own way.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All the best!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

How did the trans issue metastasize within just a decade from being a question of kindness and tolerance to a tiny minority to convulsing a whole society?

Dropped them

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Your credentials do not matter!

I did not go back to my home.

Did you become a cuckold for your wife?

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…

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

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..

Would you respect the US with a woman as president?

And, I had not made it.

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

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

What do you think of Vance using a clip of an embarrassed teenager from almost 20 years ago in an attempt to bully Kamala Harris?

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

“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.”

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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.

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

“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 looked around me

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.

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Cleared multiple of them

Anyway!

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

And..

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Keep your ego aside.

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

“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 vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And entered the park.
