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

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

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

And, I had not made it.

All achievers in their own way.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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 constantly staring into the ground

“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.”

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

Anyway!

I looked around 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).

“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).”

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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 exam has its own way of humbling you.

All the best!

Searched for my roll number.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not go back to my home.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I vividly remember that evening.

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

And..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
