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

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

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

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

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

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

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

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

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

I looked around me

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.

All achievers in their own way.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back 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.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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

What's one common challenge software engineers face, no matter what kind of tech company they work for?

I vividly remember that evening.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not go back to my home.

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

“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).”

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And entered the park.

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

Anyway!

And, I had not made it.

All the best!

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

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).

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

Found an empty bench..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
