Economic inequality can significantly affect UPSC aspirants' preparation by limiting access to resources and support systems. Students from underprivileged backgrounds may struggle to afford coaching classes, study materials, or a conducive study environment, impacting their performance. This disparity can lead to a lack of confidence, as they may feel overwhelmed by peers with better resources. Additionally, economic stress can divide focus, leading to anxiety and less effective study habits. Addressing these issues through targeted support programs and resource accessibility initiatives can empower all aspirants, leveling the playing field for equitable opportunities in civil services.
