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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

What is your favorite underrated movie and why? What makes it underrated? How did you find it?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Kquorans, can you please write a story?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

Totam aut neque cum voluptas velit eum tempore.

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

“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 -

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

Why is our generation so unhappy?

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

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.

“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).”

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

Searched for my roll number.

All achievers in their own way.

And..

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

“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 entered the park.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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).

Anyway!

Worked for a marketing agency

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
