Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?
Last Updated: 03.07.2025 04:23
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Cleared multiple of them
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Your credentials do not matter!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Dropped them
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
It is almost impossible.
How often should you forgive someone for hurting you? At what point should you cut ties?
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
All achievers in their own way.
The batch sizes were huge!
Is it considered rude to comment on someone's weight? Is it simply stating a fact?
Keep your ego aside.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Autem nesciunt sint et reprehenderit non fuga beatae et.
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).
I vividly remember that evening.
“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
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Searched for my roll number.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Why do some men like older women?
I did not go back to my home.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Worked for a marketing agency
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
But, then it hit me hard.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was alone in Delhi back then
And entered the park.
I was constantly staring into the ground
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And..
Found an empty bench..
Anyway!

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
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…
And, I had not made it.
“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.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
