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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And, I had not made it.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All achievers in their own way.

Keep your ego aside.

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Do you consider masturbating to porn cheating if you are married?

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

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

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

I looked around me

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

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.

“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.”

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

I did not go back to my home.

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.

“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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

All the best!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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…

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

And entered the park.

Found an empty bench..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It is almost impossible.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Anyway!

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

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

.

Worked for a marketing agency

I was constantly staring into the ground

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

And..

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

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

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”

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

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