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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Hamas uses 100,000 human shields and no one cares. Israel straps one wounded terrorist to a Jeep to transport him to medical facilities and the world cries. What gives?

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

It is almost impossible.

What is the most peculiar thing about the human brain?

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

What exactly is digital marketing?

All the best!

Anyway!

And, I had not made it.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Is there a software or anything else where you could remove a certain instrument sound from a song and replace it with you playing that instrument instead while the rest of the instruments play?

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

And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

“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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

My marriage is fixed. My future husband repeatedly calls me to meet me in private and pressure me to have a relationship. What should I do?

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

I did not go back to my home.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

And entered the park.

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

Why can't flat-Earthers create an agency like NASA to explore Earth to prove it is flat? What's preventing them from doing so?

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

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

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.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Found an empty bench..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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, 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.”

Cleared multiple of them

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Searched for my roll number.

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

.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

.

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.

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.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

Dropped them

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

I vividly remember that evening.
