Socio-economic factors can greatly influence UPSC aspirants, affecting their access to resources, guidance, and quality education. Candidates from higher socio-economic backgrounds often have the means to invest in coaching, study materials, and a conducive learning environment, which can enhance their preparation. On the other hand, aspirants from disadvantaged backgrounds may face challenges such as limited access to information or study spaces. Thus, socio-economic status can affect not only preparation methods but also exam performance, highlighting the need for equitable opportunities in education for all aspirants.
