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

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

Anyway!

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

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.

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.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

What is the difference between the terms "Millennials" and "kids"?

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

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Cleared multiple of them

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.

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

.

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

.

Keep your ego aside.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

“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 did not go back to my home.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over 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.”

And, I had not made it.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Searched for my roll number.

And..

And entered the park.

Found an empty bench..

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