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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And..

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

Why won't biden give a last minute deferred action TO ALL undocumented immigrants so Trump can't deport them? Obama issued DACA, why can't Biden issue something similar that protects ALL undocumented immigrants from deportation?

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

If you could instantly cancel one social norm, what would it be?

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

Found an empty bench..

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

As a NATO/Ukraine supporter, since you're so blown away and angered by Trump putting Zelensky in his place yesterday, why don't you support the Ukraine by joining the Ukrainian army? There's 200,000,000+ of you. Put your money where your mouths are.

Keep your ego aside.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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.”

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

I did not go back to my home.

And entered the park.

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

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.

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

I looked around me

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 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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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!

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

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

Anyway!

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