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

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.

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

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

“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).”

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

And entered the park.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

All the best!

The batch sizes were huge!

“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.”

Keep your ego aside.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And..

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I vividly remember that evening.
