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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

If I only have a fire extinguisher to defend myself against some threat from people, should I spray them for max damage or just hit them with the fire extinguishers?

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

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).

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

“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.”

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Were knights’ lances practical weapons, or were they just for sports?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I did not go back to my home.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

How did Nickelback gain a large fan base despite criticism of their music?

And entered the park.

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

“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 was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

What is your review of X-Men '97 season 1?

But, then it hit me hard.

It is almost impossible.

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

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 looked around me

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Found an empty bench..

All achievers in their own way.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Keep your ego aside.

“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).”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Dropped them

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Anyway!

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

Worked for a marketing agency

Your credentials do not matter!

And..

All the best!

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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