Information gaps can seriously impact the efficacy of UPSC preparation. Lack of awareness about the latest syllabus, exam patterns, and available study materials can hinder aspirants’ progress. If candidates do not have access to quality resources or updated information, their preparation may become fragmented and less effective. Additionally, misinformation can lead to misguided focus on irrelevant topics. To mitigate this, aspirants should develop a strategy to regularly update their knowledge through credible sources, thereby closing information gaps and enhancing their overall preparation efforts for the UPSC exam.
