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

Anyway!

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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.

“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.”

“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 alone in Delhi back then

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

I looked around me

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

What does the Turkish word çıplak mean?

All the best!

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

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

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

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

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

And..

.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

But, then it hit me hard.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not go back to my 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).”

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).

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

The batch sizes were huge!

.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I vividly remember that evening.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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.

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

Found an empty bench..

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

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 entered the park.
