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

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…

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Cleared multiple of them

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

All the best!

Why would the state lie about the Earth's shape? We know that it's flat, but why do they lie and tell us that it is a sphere?

Dropped them

Searched for my roll number.

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

Can I see some saggy tit pics and huge areolas pics?

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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.”

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.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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).

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Keep your ego aside.

And..

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

“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 looked around me

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

Anyway!

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

Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”

It is almost impossible.
