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

I looked around me

.

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Worked for a marketing agency

The batch sizes were huge!

And..

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

All the best!

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

What's your photograph of the day 1097?

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

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

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

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.

I did not go back to my home.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Found an empty bench..

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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 was constantly staring into the ground

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

“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.

Anyway!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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.

“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).”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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