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

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

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

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

What is the lowest probability event you have personally witnessed?

It is almost impossible.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

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

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

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 did not go back to my home.

Women like what they hear while men like what they see, it that true?

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And entered the park.

What did your mother say that made your jaw drop?

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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!

I was alone in Delhi back then

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.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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…

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I looked around me

I was constantly staring into the ground

And, I had not made it.

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

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

“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).”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Dropped them

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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).

All the best!

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

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

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