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

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

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.

“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 looked around 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.”

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Cleared multiple of them

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

Anyway!

MAGA talking heads are saying that no MAGA child would publicly cry for their father, and want Gus Walz investigated as a crisis actor. I cried for my father and mother when they won or lost in life, am I a weird conservative or is MAGA messed up?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

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

All the best!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Are democrats eating crow?

All achievers in their own way.

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

How many books do you read in a week and what are they, could you share one?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Keep your ego aside.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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…

Your credentials do not matter!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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.

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not go back to my home.

Dropped them

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And entered the park.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

But, then it hit me hard.

And, I had not made 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).”

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).

It is almost impossible.
