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

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

Anyway!

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

And..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

But, then it hit me hard.

All the best!

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…

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.”

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

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.

“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 an element of probability that no one can predict.

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Your credentials do not matter!

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

“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).”

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 entered the park.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

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

The batch sizes were huge!

And, I had not made it.

I looked around me

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

I vividly remember that evening.
