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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

I’m British and I'm hella bummed about it. Wish I was American or even Canadian, ’cause let’s be real, Canada’s gonna end up part of the States anyway. What should I do?

I did not go back to my home.

Anyway!

I looked around me

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

What was your most embarrassing and humiliating bare bottom spanking?

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

Why do I feel so lazy every time I get into my room?

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 was alone in Delhi back then

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

“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..

I vividly remember that evening.

What are some other ways to respond to someone saying "thank you" besides "de rien" or "vous êtes bienvenue"?

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

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).

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

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

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

All achievers in their own way.

I was constantly staring into the ground

It lasted approximately 10 months.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And entered the park.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.

“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.”

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

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.

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

All the best!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Found an empty bench..

The batch sizes were huge!

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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.”

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

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

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

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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.

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…

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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