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

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

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.

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Keep your ego aside.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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).

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I was alone in Delhi back then

And entered the park.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

All achievers in their own way.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

It is almost impossible.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

All the best!

Anyway!
