Candidates can apply analytical frameworks such as PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, Environmental) and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analyses to critically engage with policy analyses for UPSC. These frameworks provide structured approaches to evaluating complex issues and understanding multiple dimensions of policies. For instance, using PESTLE allows candidates to analyze the broader contextual factors affecting governance, while SWOT helps in assessing specific policies or proposals effectively. Applying these methodologies enhances their analytical rigor and equips them to address nuanced questions in the exam.
