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

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

I looked around me

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

As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

All achievers in their own way.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

What is the difference between heaven and heavens?

It is almost impossible.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

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

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

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

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Keep your ego aside.

“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.”

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Found an empty bench..

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

Searched for my roll number.

And..

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…

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.
