Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?
Last Updated: 29.06.2025 00:12
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was alone in Delhi back then

I did not go back to my home.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Anyway!
Keep your ego aside.
What do you love doing for fun?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“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.”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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, 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.”
All the best!

What is better? Tik Tok or YouTube?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Dropped them
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
The batch sizes were huge!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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 vividly remember that evening.
Cleared multiple of them
And, I had not made it.
All achievers in their own way.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I looked around me
But, then it hit me hard.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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).”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Your credentials do not matter!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Searched for my roll number.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It is almost impossible.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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.
