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

.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

What happens when your partner doesn't see the value in you and continuously hurts you by searching for something in others knowing it hurts you?

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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling 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.

What is a good comeback for when someone calls you flat?

I was constantly staring into the ground

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

All the best!

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

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…

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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.”

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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 vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

“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)

It is almost impossible.

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