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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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).

“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).”

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not go back to my home.

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

All achievers in their own way.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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.

Why did the USA stick their noses in Ukraine's business? They wanted to be neutral for so long.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

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

Why do I smell bad even though I have good hygiene?

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

I looked around me

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…

Eos iste et tenetur sunt rerum eligendi.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

Why is Jack Smith arguing that presidents should not have full immunities as Trump is requesting?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Anyway!

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I can not sleep. what is the problem?

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

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

I vividly remember that evening.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Searched for my roll number.

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Keep your ego aside.

And..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

And, I had not made it.

Dropped them

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, 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 is almost impossible.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

And entered the park.

.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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

All the best!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Worked for a marketing agency

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.

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