Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?
Last Updated: 29.06.2025 12:29
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Worked for a marketing agency
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!

It is almost impossible.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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.”
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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

Your credentials do not matter!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Cleared multiple of them
And entered the park.
Were you ever in love with your teacher?
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Dropped them
I looked around me
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

The batch sizes were huge!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for 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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Keep your ego aside.
I vividly remember that evening.

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…
“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).”
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, I had not made it.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
But, then it hit me hard.
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).
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
.
Found an empty bench..
Anyway!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And..
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
