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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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 move for the next 30 minutes..

Searched for my roll number.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Why is India lagging behind China in economic development when India is a democracy while China isn’t?

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I did not go back to my home.

Dropped them

"Can God create iron that God cannot bend?" Isn't it unreasonable to ask this about a being believed to have created logic? After all, God can create a logic that we can't understand right now that both are possible at the same time, right?

Anyway!

It is almost impossible.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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.

“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.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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…

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

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

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).

Cleared multiple of them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

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

All the best!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I looked around me

I was constantly staring into the ground

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

The batch sizes were huge!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

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