The socio-economic background of candidates can significantly impact their performance in exams. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds may face challenges such as access to resources, quality education, and support systems, which can hinder their preparation. Additionally, factors like language proficiency and familiarity with exam patterns can vary based on background, leading to disparities in exam performance. Conversely, candidates from privileged backgrounds may have better preparation opportunities, increasing their chances of success. This raises questions about equity and fairness in assessment processes.
