Socio-economic factors profoundly influence a candidate's success in the UPSC exam. Economic background may determine access to resources, such as coaching, study materials, and technology. Candidates from less privileged backgrounds may lack this support, impacting their performance. Moreover, education and familial motivation play significant roles, with family background often dictating exposure to politics and social issues. Additionally, disparities in regional education systems can also affect preparation levels. Thus, understanding socio-economic factors can help create targeted support systems for aspiring candidates, ensuring a more equitable opportunity in securing IPS, IAS, or IFS roles.
