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

And entered the park.

Your credentials do not matter!

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And, I had not made it.

Found an empty bench..

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.

I vividly remember that evening.

It is almost impossible.

Anyway!

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

All achievers in their own way.

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…

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

As a NATO/Ukraine supporter, since you're so blown away and angered by Trump putting Zelensky in his place yesterday, why don't you support the Ukraine by joining the Ukrainian army? There's 200,000,000+ of you. Put your money where your mouths are.

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

“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.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Why did the UK Supreme Court rule that transgender women are not women?

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

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 did not go back to my home.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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.”

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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..

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

All the best!

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

Cleared multiple of them

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

“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).”

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.

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

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

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