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

I was alone in Delhi back then

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

“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).”

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.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

And, I had not made it.

And..

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

.

“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.”

All achievers in their own way.

Cleared multiple of them

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.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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

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

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

The batch sizes were huge!

And entered the park.

I vividly remember that evening.

Searched for my roll number.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
