Conflict resolution is pivotal in UPSC interview preparations, particularly in fostering a candidate's diplomatic and negotiation skills. The interview panel often evaluates how aspirants handle conflict and their ability to articulate thoughts during challenging situations. Candidates should practice scenarios where they can demonstrate effective communication, empathy, and problem-solving abilities. A strong grasp of conflict resolution strategies not only enhances interpersonal skills but also prepares candidates for the real-world challenges they may face as civil servants.
