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

It is almost impossible.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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.

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

“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.”

What are some sad truths about life?

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

.

I was alone in Delhi back then

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

And entered the park.

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Anyway!

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 determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“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 exam has its own way of humbling you.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And, I had not made it.

All the best!

Cleared multiple of them

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

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.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I looked around me

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

And..

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Searched for my roll number.

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

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