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

All the best!

Your credentials do not matter!

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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.

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It is almost impossible.

I looked around me

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

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 was constantly staring into the ground

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

Which sunscreen shall we use to apply on oily skin?

The batch sizes were huge!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

My girlfriend lied and said she never gave oral until me. She was very skilled. I’m upset with her lying. Do I dump her?

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Searched for my roll number.

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

“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).”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Worked for a marketing agency

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not go back to my home.

Cleared multiple of them

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

“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.”

Anyway!

And entered the park.

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

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

“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?”

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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.

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

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

“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.”

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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…

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
