Mentorship plays a critical role in guiding candidates for UPSC exams by providing personalized insight and support. A mentor can share invaluable experiences, strategies for study planning, and effective preparation techniques tailored to individual needs. Moreover, mentors help in overcoming challenges and navigating the complexities of the syllabus. Their guidance can also reinforce the aspirant’s motivation and commitment, providing encouragement during difficult times. Building such relationships not only enhances knowledge but also instills confidence in candidates as they prepare for civil service roles.
