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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I looked around me

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 batch sizes were huge!

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Found an empty bench..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Anyway!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Your credentials do not matter!

It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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.”

Searched for my roll number.

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).

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And entered the park.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Dropped them

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

But, then it hit me hard.

All the best!

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

“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).”

It is almost impossible.

I did not go back to my home.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

“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.

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

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

And..

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.
