A compelling statement of purpose in UPSC interviews should convey the candidate's passion for public service, motivation for choosing the civil services, and clear career aspirations. It should reflect personal experiences that shaped their decision to pursue this path, highlighting any relevant achievements or qualifications. Articulating specific reasons for wanting to join the services adds depth, while also showcasing the candidate's understanding of ethical responsibilities. Finally, a concise yet confident presentation style enhances credibility and engages the interview panel effectively.
