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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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 looked around me

Do they have internet in hell? Most people on here seem like damned souls or demons.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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…

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Dropped them

“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.”

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

Anyway!

“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.”

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

It is almost impossible.

What is the irony of life according to you?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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

And, I had not made it.

Keep your ego aside.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Searched for my roll number.

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.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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).

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

.

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

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.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

“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).”

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

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

.

Cleared multiple of them

And entered the park.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Your credentials do not matter!

Found an empty bench..

The batch sizes were huge!

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