Women preparing for the UPSC exams face unique challenges, including societal pressures and gender biases. Balancing family responsibilities and study time can be particularly difficult, leading to stress and mental health issues. Women may also encounter a lack of role models and mentorship opportunities, which can affect their confidence and motivation. Additionally, limitations in accessing coaching resources and networks can hinder their preparation. Despite these barriers, increased awareness and support systems are gradually helping women to pursue their aspirations in civil services effectively.
