Women candidates preparing for UPSC examinations face various challenges, including societal pressures and limited access to educational resources. Often, they juggle multiple responsibilities, such as family obligations alongside their studies, which can affect their preparation time and focus. Additionally, a lack of female role models in leadership positions may diminish motivation. Gender stereotypes and biases also lead to underrepresentation in competitive exams. Furthermore, safety concerns in some regions may limit access to coaching centers and study environments, presenting further barriers to successful preparation.
