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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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 achievers in their own way.

Is it possible to make cars that run on water instead of gasoline or other fossil fuels? Why haven't we done so yet?

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

What's the difference between “ce”, “ça”, and “cela”, and when do I use each (French)?

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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

Quia quia unde harum qui quas.

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

I looked around me

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

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

“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.

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

“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.”

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

I saw a post on X which says "control your lust & you'll understand how boring 90% of women are." What do you think about it? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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.

Who is/was the genuinely toughest actor in Hollywood movies?

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Dropped them

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

“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.”

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It is almost impossible.

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

Cleared multiple of them

And entered the park.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I vividly remember that evening.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

All the best!

Found an empty bench..

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Searched for my roll number.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Anyway!

“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).”

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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.

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.
