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

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

Found an empty bench..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

It is almost impossible.

Keep your ego aside.

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

Anyway!

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I was alone in Delhi back then

I vividly remember that evening.

Is the 4B movement's aggressiveness against men for seeing women as mantelpieces valid?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

How can someone get patrons on Patreon if they are a beginner artist?

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

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

Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

All the best!

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

How would you describe modern day Russian society, beyond just politics?

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

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.

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

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

Why does Nickelback, a popular Canadian alternative-rock band, receive so much hate? Is it because they are not considered "edgy" by some people?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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…

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

Your credentials do not matter!

Cleared multiple of them

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

I looked around me

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

.

“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.”

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

.

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

And entered the park.

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).

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

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

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Dropped them

And, I had not made it.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

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

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