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

.

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.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.”

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

“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).”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

And..

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…

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

Keep your ego aside.

And, I had not made it.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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.

The batch sizes were huge!

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

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

“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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
