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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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…

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

All the best!

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

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

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.

Why does my vagina smell sort of fishy/musty days after sex when my boyfriend ejaculates in me? There isn’t any itching or burning when urinating, so I don't think I have BV. It just doesn't smell like me.

And entered the park.

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

How do you smoke heroin?

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?

.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Can I add pencil on top of my dry brush oil painting? Reason being it's easier to draw darker hair colour. Will pencil lead and oil paint interact and cause something horrible?

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

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

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

How do you trump Trump’s executive order to bring back plastic straws?

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

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

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

If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

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).

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

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

Dropped them

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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.

All achievers in their own way.

Repellat quod recusandae rerum adipisci deleniti.

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

And, I had not made it.

Your credentials do not matter!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

I looked around me

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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.

Cleared multiple of them

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Anyway!

I vividly remember that evening.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And..

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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.

Found an empty bench..

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