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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

What are the most common misconceptions people have about demon summoning?

Cleared multiple of them

Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.”

It is almost impossible.

Adipisci omnis dolor vitae nulla explicabo tenetur.

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.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Worked for a marketing agency

And, I had not made 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).”

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

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?”

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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).

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

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

And entered the park.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.

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

Dropped them

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

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…

All achievers in their own way.

And..

But, then it hit me hard.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

All the best!

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

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

“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.”

Found an empty bench..

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Anyway!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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.

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