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

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

And entered the park.

Your credentials do not matter!

Get Ready for More Commercials in Movie Theaters - The Hollywood Reporter

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

And..

Worked for a marketing agency

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I looked around me

Searched for my roll number.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

What might be the social consequences of an ethnic as opposed to a civic conception of the nation?

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Why didn’t Obito confront Kakashi after he witnessed him kill Rin?

Anyway!

I did not go back to my home.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Is it possible to permanently quit pornography?

Dropped them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Father who killed 3 daughters was 'active dad' but the 'system failed' him, ex-wife's attorney says - ABC News

It is almost impossible.

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

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

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

What are your thoughts on Italian nationalist poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, who was the subject of the documentary "Fiume o morte!"?

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.

Found an empty bench..

Keep your ego aside.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

All achievers in their own way.

And, I had not made it.

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…

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

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

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

“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).”

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

“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.

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

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

.

“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.”

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

All the best!

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

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

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.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then
