You get 2 hours for each paper

Also,

Yes, you can definitely first do engineering in computer science and then go for UPSC .  Choosing Engineering also has its own advantage , the benefit of  doing engineering first and then appearing for UPSC examination is that you will have a back , you know UPSC examination is not that  easy to crack so in the worst  if you you could not crack it then with your engineering degree you will have plenty of job opportunities and you can go for  decent jobs.

Also, these days it has become very common to go for UPSC examination after engineering, a lot of students complete their engineering and then go for writing UPSC examination and not only  appear for UPSC examination, they qualify it as well also and some even top the exam : ) .

For Instance,

UPSC 2019 topper, Pradeep Singh was an engineer. Again Kanishak Kataria  who topped  UPSC civil services examination in 2018 was an engineer. There are more such examples.
