Socio-economic backgrounds significantly impact the success rate in the UPSC exams. Candidates from higher socio-economic strata typically have better access to coaching resources, study materials, and networks that aid in preparation. This disparity can lead to imbalances in knowledge acquisition and exam readiness. Moreover, financial stability often permits these candidates to dedicate more time to intensive study without the burden of part-time employment or other responsibilities. Conversely, aspirants from less privileged backgrounds may face constraints that limit their preparation time and resources, ultimately affecting their performance. Addressing these inequities is essential for equal opportunities in civil services.
