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

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 determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Is it common for female doctors to examine male patients without another nurse present? Is there a difference in protocol for nurses and physician assistants?

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

“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).”

All the best!

Cleared multiple of them

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

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.

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

And entered the park.

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

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…

What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

It is almost impossible.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

But, then it hit me hard.

I was constantly staring into the ground

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

How did it feel to take your first gay BBC?

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

All achievers in their own way.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

And, I had not made it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I did not go back to my home.

I looked around me

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Dropped them

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

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

“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.”

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

.

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

And..

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.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

The batch sizes were huge!

.

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

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

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

“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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Anyway!
