Traditional teaching methods often inhibit aspirants preparing for UPSC by focusing heavily on rote memorization rather than critical thinking and analytical skills. These methods may result in superficial understanding, making it challenging to interpret complex topics essential for the exam. Interactive and discussion-based teaching encourages a deeper grasp of concepts, while traditional approaches can lead to feelings of disconnection and reduced motivation. Furthermore, reliance on outdated materials may limit exposure to current affairs and contemporary issues, which are vital for the general studies papers and interview segments of the UPSC examination.
