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

“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.”

Anyway!

What is GPT-4?

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

“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).”

Found an empty bench..

Use of semaglutide linked to doubled risk of neovascular macular degeneration - Medical Xpress

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

What celebrity do you admire the most?

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

All achievers in their own way.

And, I had not made it.

And..

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

It is almost impossible.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I was alone in Delhi back then

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

But, then it hit me hard.

And entered the park.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

“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.”

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).

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

I vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
