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

I looked around me

All achievers in their own way.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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).

Why do I feel so lazy every time I get into my room?

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not go back to my home.

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

“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.”

Found an empty bench..

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Worked for a marketing agency

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Cleared multiple of them

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

All the best!

And..

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Searched for my roll number.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

“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.”

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

And entered the park.

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

“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).”

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

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.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Dropped them

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

And, I had not made it.

The batch sizes were huge!

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