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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Found an empty bench..

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

What do most wives fantasize about?

And entered the park.

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

What is world history that not many people know about?

The batch sizes were huge!

Keep your ego aside.

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

When North Koreans visit other countries for the Olympics, what stops some of them fleeing away into that host country?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

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

I looked around me

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Searched for my roll number.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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.

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..

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

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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 did not go back to my home.

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

All the best!

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

“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.”

And, I had not made it.

“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.”

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

It is almost impossible.

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

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

And..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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