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.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I vividly remember that evening.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

How do we write and pronounce "it's my pleasure" in Italian?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Your credentials do not matter!

Where did the false claim that Haitian immigrants are eating pets come from?

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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).”

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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 did not go back to my home.

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

It is almost impossible.

.

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

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

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 looked around me

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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).

Cleared multiple of them

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

All the best!

Searched for my roll number.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

And..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Anyway!

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

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

Found an empty bench..

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

And entered the park.

All achievers in their own way.

“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.”

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.

“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.”
