Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?
Last Updated: 02.07.2025 03:57
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
What should every American know before traveling to the UK?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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…

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Found an empty bench..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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.
And..
I was alone in Delhi back then

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
All the best!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
As a teacher, what's the most inappropriate experience you've had with a student?
Keep your ego aside.
The batch sizes were huge!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on 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.”
Anyway!
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Your credentials do not matter!

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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 go back to my home.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I vividly remember that evening.
Dropped them
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was constantly staring into the ground
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
All achievers in their own way.
.
.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I looked around me
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cleared multiple of them
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
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.
And, I had not made it.
It is almost impossible.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And entered the park.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Searched for my roll number.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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.”
