Socioeconomic background can significantly influence UPSC aspirants by impacting access to resources, education, and support systems. Candidates from privileged backgrounds may have better opportunities for coaching, study materials, and a conducive learning environment. In contrast, those from underprivileged backgrounds might face challenges like financial constraints or lack of guidance. However, determination and access to free resources can level the playing field for aspirants from diverse socioeconomic strata, making preparation a potential equalizer.
