Aspirants can balance theoretical knowledge with practical experiences during UPSC preparation by engaging in internships, field visits, and participation in social initiatives. Applying theoretical concepts in real-world settings enhances understanding and retention of knowledge. Additionally, attending seminars or talks by experts can bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering insights into current affairs and their implications on policy. Combining these experiences with theoretical studies creates a more comprehensive preparation strategy, equipping candidates to tackle a range of exam questions confidently.
