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 alone in Delhi back then

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

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

I vividly remember that evening.

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

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

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

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

How do I get people to see my writing? I'm having a really hard time getting my writing out there. I post on Tumblr, but not many see it.

Found an empty bench..

I did not go back to my home.

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

What is the cost of implementing synchronized traffic lights in a mid-sized city?

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

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.

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

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

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).

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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

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

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

It is almost impossible.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And..

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

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

“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.”

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

“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).”

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

Dropped them

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Your credentials do not matter!

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Searched for my roll number.

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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
