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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

Worked for a marketing agency

I was alone in Delhi back then

Hamas uses 100,000 human shields and no one cares. Israel straps one wounded terrorist to a Jeep to transport him to medical facilities and the world cries. What gives?

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).

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 looked around me

Dropped them

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Why are your TikTok videos getting low views?

I was constantly staring into the ground

But, then it hit me hard.

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Is heroin really as good as people say it is?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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…

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

All the best!

All achievers in their own way.

It is almost impossible.

And entered the park.

“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).”

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

“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.”

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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