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

Keep your ego aside.

“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).”

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 have wasted my 6 years for preparing for a government exam but did not succeed. Now I am 28 years old. What should I do?

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

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

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

Why do men prefer women below the age of 30?

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

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…

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Teens like me, what are your expectations when entering adulthood?

.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

My boyfriend wants to break up over too many petty arguments. To me, they are molehills because I truly love him & don't really think twice about them. If he loved me would he work through it?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Worked for a marketing agency

Why was Super Buu so afraid of having Fat Buu torn out and becoming Kid Buu if he was going to destroy the Earth even before his transformation?

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

Dropped them

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

Anyway!

All the best!

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.

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

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

“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.”

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 go back to my home.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

I vividly remember that evening.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I looked around me

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

“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.”

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

.

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Cleared multiple of them

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Searched for my roll number.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
