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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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).”

Why do women wear less clothes compared to men?

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.

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

Molestiae omnis voluptatem sed assumenda et.

I looked around me

The batch sizes were huge!

And..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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).

Searched for my roll number.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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…

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

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

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Dropped them

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

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

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

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

All the best!

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

Cleared multiple of them

And entered the park.

“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, I had not made it.

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

I did not go back to my home.

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

.

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

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
