Ethical dilemmas are pivotal in preparing candidates for the UPSC interview as they reflect real-world challenges that civil servants may face. Such dilemmas test a candidate's integrity, decision-making abilities, and moral judgment. Aspirants should contemplate various scenarios where ethical principles may conflict, allowing them to articulate their thought processes during the interview. Understanding ethical frameworks and relevant case studies can also enhance their responses. Discussing these concepts with mentors or peers can further develop their ability to navigate complex moral situations effectively and showcase their preparedness.
