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…

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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).

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I vividly remember that evening.

Dropped them

All the best!

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.

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

It is almost impossible.

But, then it hit me hard.

“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Searched for my roll number.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Anyway!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

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

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.

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

Found an empty bench..

I looked around me

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

Keep your ego aside.

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

All achievers in their own way.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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).”

And, I had not made it.

And entered the park.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”
