The eligibility requirements for women candidates in the UPSC are the same as for male candidates, which include being an Indian citizen and meeting the age and educational qualifications criteria. However, the UPSC provides certain relaxations for women in terms of age limits and the number of attempts allowed for the examination. Furthermore, initiatives aimed at supporting women candidates, including mentorship programs and workshops, are increasingly emphasized. The inclusion of women in civil services aligns with the broader goal of achieving gender equality in governance.
