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

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 was constantly staring into the ground

Where did Noah build the Ark? Was it in a desert or near water?

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I looked around me

As a friend of Megan's who also watches Suits, would you advise her not to return to the show in order to protect her character's reputation?

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Which branch of engineering is better: ECE or Civil?

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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.

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

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

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

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

All achievers in their own way.

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.

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, 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.”

Searched for my roll number.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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).

And, I had not made it.

“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 vividly remember that evening.

And..

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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