Candidates can simulate high-pressure situations to prepare for the UPSC interview through techniques such as mock interviews, timed response sessions, and peer evaluations. Participating in structured mock interviews induces the stress of a real interview, helping candidates practice their responses and body language under pressure. Additionally, speaking in public forums or debate clubs can enhance their ability to think on their feet. Incorporating a feedback loop from peers and mentors also informs areas of improvement, cultivating a composed demeanor for the actual interview.
