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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Do you think AI language models like Claude AI will ever be able to truly match someone's unique writing style?

.

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

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

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Can cheating be a result of not truly loving or caring for someone, or is it sometimes just a spur of the moment decision?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And entered the park.

Found an empty bench..

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

It is almost impossible.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

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

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

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..

Which is the correct Tamil New Year, Thai-1 or Chithirai-1?

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

And, I had not made it.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Worked for a marketing agency

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Why did Meghan become a Hollywood actress before marrying into royalty? Was this against protocol and tradition for future royals who marry into the UK monarchy?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not go back to my home.

The batch sizes were huge!

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Anyway!

.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I looked around me

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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.

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…

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

Dropped them

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

All the best!

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

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

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