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

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

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

“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.”

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Dropped them

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

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

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

When will dating stop being so hard for Gen Z?

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

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.

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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).

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Anyway!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

All the best!

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

And entered the park.

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

The batch sizes were huge!

And..

Your credentials do not matter!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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…

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And, I had not made it.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Cleared multiple of them

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

.

I did not go back to my home.

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

“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).”

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Found an empty bench..

I looked around me

But, then it hit me hard.
