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

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

Anyway!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Dropped them

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.

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

Your credentials do not matter!

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

And..

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was alone in Delhi back then

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

I did not go back to my home.

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…

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

What's your favorite stupid joke?

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I looked around me

“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).”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

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

Cleared multiple of them

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“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.”

“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.”

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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

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

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And entered the park.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Found an empty bench..

All achievers in their own way.

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

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

All the best!

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

I vividly remember that evening.

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.

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