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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

And, I had not made it.

Why do many women in Turkey prefer to date blacks as a lover?

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

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

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.

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

Have you ever heard of the god Priapus being the same as the god Phosphorus?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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.

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

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

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.

Keep your ego aside.

Searched for my roll number.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

And..

Anyway!

“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.”

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).

And entered the park.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

“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.”

All the best!

Cleared multiple of them

“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).”

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.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
