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

“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.”

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

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

Why is there so much evil in the world?

“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.”

Searched for my roll number.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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…

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Vandenberg’s Next Mission: SpaceX Rocket Launch on Sunday - Noozhawk

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

And, I had not made it.

All the best!

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

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).

Worked for a marketing agency

It is almost impossible.

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

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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

“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).”

And entered the park.

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

And..

I did not go back to my home.

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