How Indians crack one of the world’s toughest exams – BBC News
India’s Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exams, sat by young men and women who want to join the country’s vast civil service, are seen as one of the toughest tests in the world.
A million candidates apply to appear in the gruelling three-stage exam every year, with less than 1% making it to the second stage.
While preparing for the UPSC, Gamini Singla stayed away from friends, did not go on vacations and avoided family meetings and celebrations for nearly three years.

A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

Isn't it actually a waste of time? I am not someone who is against achieving dream jobs. But is the time these people spend for these exams really worth? I think people should go for these exams only if they are truly passionate about the job. It's really foolish to waste the time for this if the purpose is achieving high status or prestige.

Here in Brazil we have an Entrance Exam compared to the IIT/JEE which is the IME and ITA, many students study 3 years beyond High School to prepare for the Exam, it is very competitive. Another observation is that students use Indian, Russian and Peruvian books and teaching materials. Besides, many students take mock tests using the IIT/JEE exam papers.

A lucky few who pass the exam to have the privilege to participate in civil service with rampant corruption, nepotism, bribery, kickbacks, etc. to name a few. Nice system left by the Brits! maybe only the exam is the best part of civil service, downhill from there.

ROTE MEMORIZATION – Indians are good test takers, but lack common sense. The same people who were colonised for 800 years. The country was partitioned due to their short sightedness. The same country will be partitioned in next 30 years when the Islamists reach 50% of India's population. So much for exam crackas….

Propagandas again. If these Indians are so smart, what haven't they made any modern inventions ? What technological hardware/software worth mentioning have they made for humanity? Please don't fake out some ancient inventions that can't be reliably verified or proven? The Japanese or Germans or the Chinese have invented the bullet trains capable at 400-600+km/hour and what do these Indians have? The Vande Bharat express, is India fastest train but it only operates at 83km/hour. 😆The 180 km/hour speed is only in theory or testing but not the operating speed when passengers were onboard. Only the operating speed of trains are relevant. 🤭🤣😂

IITJee- Tough Paper but average score of qualified candidates is less. Limited attempts make it tougher.
Civil Services- More than 50% candidates fill the form just for sake of it. Being a multiple format exam, where prelims objective pattern doesnt count, mains is subjective and a major factor for final selection and hence doesn't aptly compare with purely objective Jee and Neet. Also its an exam once u graduate, unlike Jee and Neet.
Neet- Overall difficulty level lesser but average score for selection is quite higher. Happens at 3 levels, pre-medical, pre-pg and pre-superspeciality!
All 3 are unique in their own ways! And those who qualify dont comment here like us!

It needs strong determination. So best of luck to everyone preparing for examinations like these. Please remember to give yourself proper rest. Dont burn out.
