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

I vividly remember that evening.

“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.”

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

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.

Keep your ego aside.

Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

Searched for my roll number.

And entered the park.

I looked around me

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Romania in the past was a poor country, but last year the government announced it had 521 billion leu (113$ billion dollars) revenue. Why is so much? What's the reason?

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

“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.”

.

“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).”

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

Anyway!

Dropped them

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