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

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

“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 looked around me

“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.”

Worked for a marketing agency

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

ChatGPT May Be Linked to 'Cognitive Debt,' New Study Finds - 404 Media

Found an empty bench..

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).

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

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

Dropped them

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

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

But, then it hit me hard.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Searched for my roll number.

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.

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And entered the park.

“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.”

It is almost impossible.

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

I vividly remember that evening.

All the best!

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
