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

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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

And, I had not made it.

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

Searched for my roll number.

I looked around me

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

But, then it hit me hard.

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…

Cleared multiple of them

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

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

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

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

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.

It is almost impossible.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Dropped them

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

I vividly remember that evening.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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?

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

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

I did not go back to my home.

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

“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).”
