Analytical frameworks that candidates can apply to solve case studies in the UPSC exam include the SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), root cause analysis, and stakeholder analysis. These frameworks enable candidates to dissect problems systematically, ensuring all angles are considered. Utilizing these models enhances clarity and organization in presenting solutions. Moreover, applying a cause-and-effect approach can help candidates identify underlying issues, aiding in effective problem-solving. Familiarizing oneself with these analytic tools through practice can significantly improve response quality, helping candidates articulate well-founded solutions in case study scenarios.
