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

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

All the best!

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

Why is sin so sweet?

And, I had not made it.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

How did you react when your doctor ordered a colonoscopy?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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).”

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I was constantly staring into the ground

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Democrat voters, why are you so naive, easy to manipulate, can't see a liar standing right in front of you and why won't you research your party? You will find they have a plan for all W. Nations and it's evil.

But, then it hit me hard.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Anyway!

I did not go back to my home.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

I looked around me

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.

And..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Your credentials do not matter!

Keep your ego aside.

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

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.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And entered the park.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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…

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

The batch sizes were huge!

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