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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Keep your ego aside.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And..

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

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.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not go back to my home.

All achievers in their own way.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Found an empty bench..

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

All the best!

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

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

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I looked around me

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

“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).”

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

I vividly remember that evening.

“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.”

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 entered the park.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.
