Women preparing for UPSC face specific challenges such as societal expectations and stereotypes about gender roles. Balancing preparation with family responsibilities can be particularly demanding. Furthermore, women often encounter discrimination in study spaces or coaching centers. The need for a supportive environment is critical, as stress and anxiety can disproportionately affect women in competitive exams. Additionally, issues like lack of mentorship and limited access to networks may hinder their preparation and confidence levels during the exam process.
