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

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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.”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was alone in Delhi back then

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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 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.

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.
Cleared multiple of them
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“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).”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Your credentials do not matter!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Worked for a marketing agency
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And entered the park.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Searched for my roll number.
I vividly remember that evening.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I did not go back to my home.
.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for 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.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
But, then it hit me hard.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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.”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

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…
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
