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

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

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.

“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.”

But, then it hit me hard.

Anyway!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

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

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

“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.”

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

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

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.

“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.

How do romance scams typically operate? Do they always start by asking for money or do they sometimes begin with personal questions about the victim's life?

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

And, I had not made it.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was alone in Delhi back then

I vividly remember that evening.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

Keep your ego aside.

Dropped them

Cleared multiple of them

The batch sizes were huge!

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

All the best!

.

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

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

Searched for my roll number.

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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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