Candidates should reflect on their unique experiences to prepare for their UPSC interviews by identifying and articulating how these experiences have shaped their values and perspectives. Personal stories or challenges faced can demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and commitment to public service—all vital traits for a civil servant. Practicing mock interviews and seeking feedback can help refine how candidates present their narratives and ensure clarity in expressing their motivations for joining the civil services. Moreover, reflecting on experiences that relate to current affairs or social issues can provide insightful discussions during the interviews.
