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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

I vividly remember that evening.

It is almost impossible.

“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).”

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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

Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…

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

“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I did not go back to my home.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

How would you define love?

The batch sizes were huge!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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).

And..

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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

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

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

And, I had not made it.

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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Dropped them

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.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

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

I looked around me

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
