Rural candidates often face distinct challenges during UPSC preparation. Limited access to educational resources, such as libraries, coaching institutions, and internet connectivity, can hinder their preparation. Additionally, many experience a lack of guidance or mentorship, making it difficult to navigate the complex syllabus and exam strategies. Socioeconomic factors may also impose pressures that divert attention from studies, such as family responsibilities or financial constraints. This marginalized environment can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy, requiring rural aspirants to develop resilience and seek alternative support mechanisms to effectively prepare for the UPSC.
