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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

Why do so many people find Kakashi's character so appealing and inspirational?

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.

Keep your ego aside.

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

I looked around me

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

All the best!

“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, 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.”

All achievers in their own way.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

And, I had not made it.

Your credentials do not matter!

.

But, then it hit me hard.

And entered the park.

I vividly remember that evening.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Cleared multiple of them

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

It is almost impossible.

Anyway!

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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.”

Dropped them

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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).

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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