UPSC Exams-Time Management-Frequently Asked questions and Free Counselling


Hello Sir, I am MCA from NIT, my age is-24 and now working in WIPRO tech. Generally I have to work for 12 hrs a day. But I am very much serious to join civil services. I can give utmost 3 hrs for preparation every day. Please give your feedback whether this much time is sufficient? Kindly suggest how much time, in your opinion is required to crack IAS?

Success in CSE depends on so many factors. If your basic education is really good, three hours per day is also good. At the same time, you have to capitalize on your holidays, or whatever little free time you have at your disposal. Once you have decided to crack civil services, you have to forego so many other forms of entertainment, which normally attract you at this stage. If you use your working days 3 hours and holidays fully, it is enough in the first instance. But you have to take at least one month leave before prelims and three months leave before mains. Get hold of proper and standard books for all the subjects and put in hard work. It will yield definite results.


There are about 90% aspirants, who prepare 24 hours of the day. The Civil Services competition is a running race, not a university exam. Keep this in mind and work for it. One cannot give an exact answer to how many hours of preparation is needed for this exam. It varies from individual to individual and optional to optional and scores of other factors. Luck of course, too, has its own role to play.
