For young Indians, it is an endless journey to pursue their dreams. Along with China's national government, India's public government is known as one of the "most rigorous selection exams in the world".
In 2022, more than 1.13 million young Indians signed up for the competition. However, only 933 people made it in, and that daunting acceptance rate was as high as 1,217:1. India is like an insurmountable chasm, between dreamers and dreams.
In order to pass this exam, candidates need to go through three rounds of grinding throughout the year. According to statistics, candidates need at least more than 30 hours to complete the entire exam. Despite the difficulties, the number of applicants has been climbing year by year. In an attempt to curb this trend, India has even imposed a limit on the average candidate to attend the public office six times in his lifetime, but this has not stopped the enthusiasm of young people. For the sake of this dream of public office, young Indians are willing to join the battle. Some people have been in retreat for three years, cut off all social interactions, and the whole family is working together; Some people give up high-paying jobs just to get a half-job; Some people even sign up for tutorial classes immediately after receiving a million-dollar prize and concentrate on preparing for the exam. Not so long ago, an Indian film called "The Failure of the Twelfth Grade" attracted a lot of attention. This movie tells the story of a poor boy who has been defeated repeatedly in the public *** and finally counterattacks. It has achieved a box office performance of over Rs 700 million in India and has achieved a whopping 9 on IMDBWith a high score of 2, it has become a high-profile work. For Indian audiences, the film is a microcosm of the struggles and struggles of countless people.
In "The Failure of the Twelfth Grade", the protagonist Ma Nuojie took the national examination four times before he successfully landed. However, such successes are just one example. In fact, due to the difficulty of public ***, many candidates can only waste their youth in exams year after year. Gao Li, the predecessor of Manojie, has participated in the national examination six times but has never been able to do so. According to the regulations, he has exhausted all the exam opportunities, but he has not given up and continues to run his "retake teahouse". The plot in the movie may be exaggerated, but the cruelty of the Indian public *** is a portrayal of reality. In the face of such a difficult exam, some people choose to settle for the next best thing and apply for the provincial public *** Although the provincial exam is relatively easy, with an acceptance rate of between 1% and 5%, the corresponding treatment is also relatively low. It often takes more than ten years to enter the ranks of civil servants through the provincial examination to be comparable to their counterparts from the national examination. For Indians, becoming a civil servant is not only an option, but also an inevitability. A young man named Anudeep Durishitty, who could have obtained a position as a software engineer at Google, resolutely chose to join the public *** and won the first place in India in 2017. He then started a personal blog to share his experience and publish a guide to preparing for the exam. There is a saying in India that "everything is inferior, only the public high school entrance examination" may be biased, but it reflects the pursuit of civil service positions by young Indians, whether it is Sushil Kumar, a clerk from Bihar or other young people, they all choose to pursue civil service positions. Even though fate gave them a huge amount of wealth, they still chose to devote themselves to the public examination to realize their dream of public office. The fact that India, home to more than a billion people at Tokyo 2020, produced only one Olympic champion: javelin thrower Chopra Neeraj may be ironic, but it once again highlights the hardships that young Indians face in chasing their dreams.
