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

And entered the park.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And, I had not made it.

All achievers in their own way.

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

“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, 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.”

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

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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

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

.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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…

Anyway!

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I looked around me

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All the best!

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

“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.”

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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.

Your credentials do not matter!
