Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“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 vividly remember that evening.

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
