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

What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

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

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

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 was alone in Delhi back then

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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 -

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Anyway!

Keep your ego aside.
