Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?
Last Updated: 28.06.2025 16:02
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Keep your ego aside.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

All achievers in their own way.
Found an empty bench..
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?
I looked around me
I vividly remember that evening.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And entered the park.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Finance leaders fear destructive U.S. debt scenario - Axios
And, I had not made it.
Dropped them
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
What are the cities in England, UK that have trams?
And..

Anyway!

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was alone in Delhi back then
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).
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Cleared multiple of them
Your credentials do not matter!
What is the difference between using a brush for air drying and blow drying?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
“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.”
Non adipisci autem repellat fugiat.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I did not go back to my home.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

The batch sizes were huge!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
But, then it hit me hard.
All the best!
“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).”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
It is almost impossible.
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.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Searched for my roll number.
