What are major challenges faced by candidates from rural areas in UPSC examination?
Candidates from rural areas face several challenges in the UPSC examination, including limited access to quality educational resources and coaching facilities. The lack of guidance and mentorship can hinder effective preparation. Additionally, insufficient exposure to current affairs, especially in media and technology, limits their competitiveness. Language barriers may also pose difficulties in understanding complex study materials. Furthermore, financial constraints may prevent candidates from availing necessary study resources. Despite these challenges, many candidates from rural backgrounds show resilience and adaptability, often succeeding through dedicated efforts and innovative study techniques.
