Differences in socioeconomic background significantly influence the preparation experiences of UPSC candidates. Those from affluent backgrounds often have greater access to resources such as coaching, books, and study materials, while those from less privileged circumstances may rely on public libraries or online resources. This disparity can affect study environments and emotional support systems. Furthermore, socioeconomic factors can impact the time available for preparation, with some candidates balancing work or family responsibilities. Addressing these differences is crucial for creating equitable opportunities in UPSC preparation and examination access.
