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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Found an empty bench..

I vividly remember that evening.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Your credentials do not matter!

Why do Puerto Ricans come to this country flying their flags over in the United States all over their cars? They're so proud of their country. Why are they here?

“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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

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

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

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

All the best!

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.

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

“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.”

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

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).

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

Do straight guys like to have sex with men when they smoke meth?

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

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Dropped them

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

“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.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

And, I had not made it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

.

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Anyway!

It is almost impossible.

And entered the park.

All achievers in their own way.

I was alone in Delhi back then

It lasted approximately 10 months.

.

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

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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…

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

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

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