Socio-political factors significantly shape the UPSC syllabus. As societal needs evolve, subjects such as sustainable development, women’s empowerment, and current affairs are integrated into the curriculum. Political shifts can lead to greater emphasis on certain areas like local governance or international relations. Additionally, feedback from stakeholders, including educators and students, plays a pivotal role in analyzing the effectiveness of existing topics, ensuring that the syllabus remains relevant to contemporary challenges in Indian society.
