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

Found an empty bench..

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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.

Cleared multiple of them

“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).”

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

“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

All the best!

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

Searched for my roll number.

What are some ten strong legal evidences that are needed for a divorce?

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

It is almost impossible.

And..

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

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

I looked around me

“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.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back 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).

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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 did not go back to my home.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!

It lasted approximately 10 months.

All achievers in their own way.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Keep your ego aside.

I was alone in Delhi back then

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

And entered the park.

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…
