Time-bound practice plays a vital role in preparing for the UPSC interview by helping candidates develop a sense of urgency and improve their time management skills. By simulating interview conditions, candidates can enhance their ability to articulate responses clearly and concisely under pressure. Regular timed sessions enable aspirants to assess their performance, refine their communication style, and focus on relevant content. Establishing a structured practice routine helps candidates build confidence, ultimately reducing anxiety and ensuring they present their best selves during the actual interview.
