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…

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

“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 lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

Do you think Putin wants peace with Ukraine, or does he want Ukraine?

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

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

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

Quo adipisci nostrum sunt ut ducimus quaerat sit quaerat.

It is almost impossible.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

All the best!

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

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

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 was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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 vividly remember that evening.

Searched for my roll number.

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 was alone in Delhi back then

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Dropped them

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

All achievers in their own way.

“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, 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).”

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And, I had not made it.
