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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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

It is almost impossible.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Doesn't Musk hire Security for his Tesla dealerships?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

What questions would you ask to an AI?

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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

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

Why do Canadians think Canada is a viable country? Countries to be considered countries need to be mostly self-reliant, not dependent on another for survival. If we banned trade, Canada would go bankrupt bc you wouldn't get to offset your losses.

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

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

And..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

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).”

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

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

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).

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, I had not made it.

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

“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.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

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

All the best!

I vividly remember that evening.

Anyway!

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Keep your ego aside.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Found an empty bench..

All achievers in their own way.

Searched for my roll number.

.

Dropped them

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

And entered the park.

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

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