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

I did not go back to my home.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

So I’m getting piano lessons and my teacher wants me to get an upright piano instead of a keyboard. An upright piano is way above my price range, so what do I do? And what’s the difference between an upright piano and a keyboard?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

All the best!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

They say that the Democrats media is able to gaslight their ignorant followers. How true is that, and is the fact that Democrats have echoed that Jan 6th was worse than 9/11 or Pearl Harbor proof of that, via gaslighting their ignorant followers?

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

Why do people with trauma easily recognize other people with trauma through eye contact?

“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!

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…

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Dropped them

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?

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.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

“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 entered the park.

Worked for a marketing agency

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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.

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

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!

And..

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

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.
