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

I was constantly staring into the ground

“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).”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

It is almost impossible.

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

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

How common are novels, animes, or mangas, that are both coming of age and thriller? What do you think of these kinds of stories? What are some examples?

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).

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 lasted approximately 10 months.

Its year 2041, and president Hunter Biden has ordered every republican who sweared at him to be arrested and shot. I am on my way to the death row listening to the cheer of the Liberal mob chanting death death death. How can I escape?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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.

Anyway!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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.”

“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.”

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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