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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not go back to my home.

All achievers in their own way.

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

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).

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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Keep your ego aside.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

“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?”

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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

.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I looked around me

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Dropped them

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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…

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

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