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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not go back to my home.

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

What kind of pleasure do gay men get from being bottom? The idea is very appealing to me but in practice it's quite painful.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Why do men love to stink/being smelly?

It is almost impossible.

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

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

And entered the park.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Which is a good budget sunscreen for my oily skin?

Anyway!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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…

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

What is the reasoning behind conspiracy theorists claiming that there were multiple shooters involved in the JFK assassination?

Keep your ego aside.

“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.”

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route 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.

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

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

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

And..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

“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.”

But, then it hit me hard.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Searched for my roll number.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Dropped them

And, I had not made it.

Cleared multiple of them

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).

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

All the best!

.

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.

Found an empty bench..

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

I looked around me

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

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

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