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

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

“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.

What are your thoughts on Italian nationalist poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, who was the subject of the documentary "Fiume o morte!"?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.”

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.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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

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

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Found an empty bench..

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

All achievers in their own way.

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

Dropped them

Anyway!

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

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

It is almost impossible.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

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