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

It is almost impossible.

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.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

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

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.

And entered the park.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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.”

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

And, I had not made it.

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.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

Your credentials do not matter!

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

And..

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

But, then it hit me hard.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Found an empty bench..

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

“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.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Anyway!

Keep your ego aside.

I did not go back to my home.
