The impact of social media on UPSC exam preparation can be dual-edged. On one hand, it serves as a valuable tool for accessing resources, current affairs updates, and study groups. Many aspirants share insights, study material, and motivational content, creating a supportive online community. Conversely, excessive use of social media can lead to distractions, overwhelming amounts of information, and time mismanagement. To mitigate negative effects, aspirants should establish healthy boundaries around their social media usage, focusing primarily on platforms that contribute positively to their study goals and maintaining a disciplined approach towards their preparation.
