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

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

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

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

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

What are the differences between fuzzy, intuitionistic, and paraconsistent logic? Which one is considered the most useful and why?

All achievers in their own way.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

“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).”

Democrat voters, why are you so naive, easy to manipulate, can't see a liar standing right in front of you and why won't you research your party? You will find they have a plan for all W. Nations and it's evil.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

.

All the best!

Dropped them

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And..

I was constantly staring into the ground

I did not go back to my home.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

.

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

Cleared multiple of them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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…

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

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

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And entered the park.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

Anyway!

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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.

And, I had not made it.

Keep your ego aside.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.
