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

It is almost impossible.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And, I had not made it.

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

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

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

I vividly remember that evening.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.”

“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 looked around me

Why is Fourth Wing so popular? What makes it stand out from other romantasy books? (No spoilers please)

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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.

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.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Do you prefer wired headphones or wireless earbuds?

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

And entered the park.

All the best!

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

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

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

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

The batch sizes were huge!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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

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

.

Found an empty bench..

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

All achievers in their own way.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

.

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…

Anyway!

Dropped them

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

“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..

Cleared multiple of them

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