मेन्स
GS Paper II (government policies and interventions in education) and the Karnataka state paper. Free online coaching tackles unequal access to exam preparation for poorer and rural aspirants, but its impact depends on digital access, content quality and completion rates. A way forward is to pair it with hybrid support, mentoring and outcome tracking.
