Differently-abled candidates face several challenges while preparing for UPSC exams, such as accessibility issues with study materials and physical examination locations. They may also encounter difficulties in time management due to additional support requirements, which can affect their preparation pace. Furthermore, societal stigma and lack of resources tailored to their needs can discourage candidates. Overcoming these challenges requires strategic planning, utilizing assistive technology, and seeking support from organizations specializing in disability advocacy to facilitate effective preparation.
