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

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

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

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

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

What is the best way to get my wife to become a hotwife?

Dropped them

Anyway!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

My dog is 2 weeks old. He's not eating, moving and always sleeping and I can't take him to a vet. What should I do?

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Found an empty bench..

And..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Do you think Christine Lagarde will be headed and will be heading for success in the next French presidential elections starting as soon as 2027?

All the best!

And, I had not made it.

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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…

“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.

All achievers in their own way.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I looked around me

What is it like to date a women 20 years younger than yourself?

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

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

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

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

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

It is almost impossible.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Keep your ego aside.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

Searched for my roll number.

“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 entered the park.

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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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.”

.

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 did not go back to my home.

I was constantly staring into the ground

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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.

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.

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

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

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

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

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