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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

.

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

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

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

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

Quia et magnam illo.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

And..

Worked for a marketing agency

How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?

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

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

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

And entered the park.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

All the best!

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

I did not go back to my home.

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

Anyway!

All achievers in their own way.

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Searched for my roll number.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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…

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

It is almost impossible.

“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).”

Keep your ego aside.

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

And, I had not made it.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

“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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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.
