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

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

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.”

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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).”

Why are US customs agents so talkative? I cringed hard when a US customs agent asked me if I was on vacation. He doesn’t need to know why I went to another country as long as I am a U.S. citizen.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

All achievers in their own way.

“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.”

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

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

Why is the trade war between the United States and the rest of the world keeping on escalating, with US goods facing brutal boycotts from the global economy? Isn’t this horrific for US companies whose earnings and stocks are already collapsing?

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

And, I had not made it.

I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.

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).

Cleared multiple of them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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.

But, then it hit me hard.

Worked for a marketing agency

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

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 determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Dropped them

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

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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And entered the park.

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

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

Keep your ego aside.

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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