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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

What do you love doing for fun?

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

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

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.

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

And..

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Dropped them

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Searched for my roll number.

Found an empty bench..

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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.

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).

“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).”

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

All achievers in their own way.

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

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.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

“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.”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I looked around me

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I did not go back to my home.

Cleared multiple of them

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I vividly remember that evening.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Anyway!

But, then it hit me hard.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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

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

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

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…

“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.”
