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

“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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…

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

All the best!

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Anyway!

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

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

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 looked around me

Searched for my roll number.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

And, I had not made it.

“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.”

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.

All achievers in their own way.

It is almost impossible.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

But, then it hit me hard.

I was constantly staring into the ground

Keep your ego aside.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“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.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

The batch sizes were huge!
