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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

And entered the park.

“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.”

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

Can a 40-year-old date a 20-year-old?

I was constantly staring into the ground

All the best!

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

“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.”

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

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

What should I be looking for when trying out running shoes? Local store lets me try the shoe and jog up and down the block, but they mostly feel the same to me. Is there some feeling or anything else specific I should be looking for?

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not go back to my home.

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.

Is Jesus God almighty?

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

And, I had not made it.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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…

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

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Found an empty bench..

“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).”

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

All achievers in their own way.

Keep your ego aside.

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).

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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.
