Field visits and internships play a crucial role in preparing for UPSC exams by providing practical exposure to administrative processes and governance. These experiences foster a deeper understanding of real-world policy implementation and the challenges faced by public administrators. Engaging with communities during field visits helps candidates develop empathy and insights into societal issues, enriching their analytical perspective. Internships with government institutions or NGOs equip candidates with hands-on experience, enhancing their ability to relate theoretical knowledge to practical applications in their eventual roles as civil servants.
