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

And, I had not made it.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Can Benadryl cause a false positive for benzodiazepines?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Est sit omnis doloribus placeat rem necessitatibus.

Anyway!

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

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

“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.”

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Does sleeping with earbuds cause ear pain?

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

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).

But, then it hit me hard.

Why are US customs agents so talkative? I cringed hard when a US customs agent asked me if I was on vacation. He doesn’t need to know why I went to another country as long as I am a U.S. citizen.

I looked around me

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Why are you bare-nakedly displaying your anti-Trump bias while ignoring the liberals' destruction of the US? I am now blocking your e-mails because of your biased articles.

“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).”

The batch sizes were huge!

Your credentials do not matter!

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

Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“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.”

It is almost impossible.

I did not go back to my home.

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

Dropped them

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

I vividly remember that evening.

And..

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

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

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

And entered the park.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

Cleared multiple of them

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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…

All the best!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Keep your ego aside.

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.
