Significant challenges in the current education system in India for UPSC include issues like limited access to quality resources, rote learning, and inadequate emphasis on critical thinking skills. The vast syllabus often overwhelms aspirants, leading to stress and burnout. Additionally, the disparity in educational opportunities between urban and rural students can hinder fair competition. These challenges necessitate a reform focusing on enhancing educational methodologies, encouraging analytical skills, and ensuring equitable access for all aspirants.
