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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

And entered the park.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

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).”

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
