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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Vel expedita omnis impedit modi earum itaque ut.

Found an empty bench..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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.

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

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

And entered the park.

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

The batch sizes were huge!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

“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.

And..

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

It is almost impossible.

.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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).

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

“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.”

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…

I was alone in Delhi back then

I did not go back to my home.

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.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I looked around me

I was constantly staring into the ground

It lasted approximately 10 months.

All the best!

All achievers in their own way.

Anyway!

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

“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.”

And, I had not made it.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Dropped them

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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