Globalization has influenced the pattern of UPSC examinations by introducing a broader spectrum of topics reflecting global issues. Candidates are now expected to engage with subjects like international relations, economic policies, and global environmental challenges. The infusion of global perspectives encourages aspirants to think critically about India's position in international frameworks. Furthermore, current affairs related to globalization are increasingly prevalent in both preliminary and mains exams. This evolution means candidates must stay informed about global trends and their domestic implications, cultivating a more comprehensive understanding necessary for effective governance.
