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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And entered the park.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I did not go back to my home.

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

“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).”

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.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Why does Nickelback, a popular Canadian alternative-rock band, receive so much hate? Is it because they are not considered "edgy" by some people?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

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 its own way of humbling you.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

All the best!

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

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

Anyway!

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

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

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Dropped them

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I vividly remember that evening.

Found an empty bench..

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

I looked around me

It is almost impossible.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

The batch sizes were huge!

“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.”

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

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

Worked for a marketing agency

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

.

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..

Cleared multiple of them

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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