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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

How do you view men and women who cheat?

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

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).

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

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

The batch sizes were huge!

And entered the park.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

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

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…

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

“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).”

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

And, I had not made it.

Keep your ego aside.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

But, then it hit me hard.

Searched for my roll number.

Found an empty bench..

.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Cleared multiple of them

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

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