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

Cleared multiple of them

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

I looked around me

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

Anyway!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?

Your credentials do not matter!

How do I become an intelligent man?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

All the best!

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

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

And, I had not made it.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

All achievers in their own way.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“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.”

It is almost impossible.

But, then it hit me hard.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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).”

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

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

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

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

“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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And..

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

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

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.

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

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 was constantly staring into the ground
