Women face several challenges in the UPSC preparation process, including societal pressures and expectations that can limit study time and resources. Gender biases and lack of support can also contribute to stress and reduced confidence. Additionally, women may encounter difficulties in accessing coaching resources, especially in rural areas. Balancing family responsibilities with rigorous study schedules often results in mental fatigue. Supportive networks and mentorship programs are essential to empower female aspirants and facilitate a conducive environment for their preparation.
