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

And, I had not made 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).”

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Dropped them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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).

“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.”

All achievers in their own way.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Anyway!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
