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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Dropped them

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

When do you start "growing old"?

Found an empty bench..

It is almost impossible.

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

“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.”

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

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

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

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

I looked around me

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

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

What are some hard truths that MAGA needs to hear?

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

.

And..

Keep your ego aside.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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).

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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

And, I had not made it.

All achievers in their own way.

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.

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…

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Anyway!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

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