Hello there!
Greetings!
I don't want to scare you but preparing for upsc is not that easy , you will have to give at least 8 to 10 hours to study. You will have to complete books like ncert , history by bipin chandra, economic for laxmi kant etc , you need to develop a habit of reading newspapers as well , you need to keep yourself updated with current affairs and what's going in the country and in the world. You will have to work on your writing skills and speed as well as after prelims you will have to give mains which is subjective. Once you are done with the syllabus then you need to go for test series and mock test papers and you should regularly revise things as well.
Thankyou
UPSC CSE preparation strategy along with best books for prelims as well as mains exam for sure success.
