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

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Worked for a marketing agency
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I did not go back to my home.
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…

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Found an empty bench..
And, I had not made it.

I vividly remember that evening.
Anyway!

Kuorans, what is your January Spotify wrapped?
It is almost impossible.
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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Your credentials do not matter!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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).”
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
What happens psychologically to a man the first time he gets penetrated anally?
“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.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Searched for my roll number.
And..

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Dropped them
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
What do women talk about mostly(among themselves)?
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

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).
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
All achievers in their own way.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“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.”
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.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I looked around me
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
.
The batch sizes were huge!
I was alone in Delhi back then
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cleared multiple of them
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All the best!
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Keep your ego aside.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And entered the park.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
But, then it hit me hard.
