Female candidates preparing for the UPSC exam face unique challenges such as societal pressures and gender stereotypes. Balancing preparation with family responsibilities can be demanding, as traditional expectations may limit their study time. Many also encounter a lack of access to resources, mentorship, or encouragement, which can hinder motivation. Moreover, female candidates may experience self-doubt influenced by external perceptions. Addressing these barriers requires a supportive environment and tailored strategies that empower women to pursue their aspirations while providing adequate resources and mentorship.
