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

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.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

“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.”

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.

Fishing is a popular pastime on many US beaches. What is a type of saltwater fish commonly caught from piers or by wading (flounder, redfish, etc.)?

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).

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Why does monistat lose effectiveness over time for individuals with chronic or recurrent vaginosis or yeast infections?

Anyway!

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.

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

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

All the best!

Do all Koreans look like K-pop idols?

“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.”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

All achievers in their own way.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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 exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

It is almost impossible.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I looked around me

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And entered the park.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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