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

And..

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

Is Trump the greatest spiritual leader since Jesus?

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not go back to my home.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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

Do airline pilots try to avoid turbulence? How can you tell if your flight has been rerouted due to weather conditions or other factors?

All the best!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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.

Can a hoodoo or candle spell be used to remove a love spell placed on someone by another person? What is the difference between voodoo and hoodoo?

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.

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

Anyway!

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

Keep your ego aside.

I looked around me

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

I vividly remember that evening.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

And, I had not made it.

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

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

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, 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.”

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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).”

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

“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.”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

It is almost impossible.

.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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.

Found an empty bench..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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