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

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was constantly staring into the ground

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, I had not made it.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And entered the park.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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…
“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 did not go back to my home.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
All the best!
Worked for a marketing agency
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.

Searched for my roll number.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

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

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Dropped them

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.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Keep your ego aside.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I looked around me
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And..
It is almost impossible.
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 vividly remember that evening.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
The batch sizes were huge!
Found an empty bench..
Cleared multiple of them
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

But, then it hit me hard.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Your credentials do not matter!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“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.”
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was alone in Delhi back then

All achievers in their own way.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
