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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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…

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

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I vividly remember that evening.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Dropped them

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

“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.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

“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.”

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

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Cleared multiple of them

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

And..

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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).

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.

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.

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

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Searched for my roll number.

I did not go back to my home.

And, I had not made it.

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

I looked around me

It is almost impossible.

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.

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

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

Anyway!
