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

Dropped them

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

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

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

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.

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Keep your ego aside.

“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).”

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I looked around me

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, I had not made it.

And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

All the best!

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Found an empty bench..

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

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.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

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

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