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

All achievers in their own way.

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).”

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…

Where did the false claim that Haitian immigrants are eating pets come from?

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I vividly remember that evening.

Searched for my roll number.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

Keep your ego aside.

And..

All the best!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

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

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

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

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

The batch sizes were huge!

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

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

Dropped them

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).
