Dear friend,

Its good that You want to start the preparation early for the IAS exam.

You have passed out your 12th and now must be starting with your Graduation.

So its the correct time for you to start the preparation.

As after your graduation or in the last year probably you will prepare for the exam.

So, Now You are having enough time to prepare for the exam.

You are having minimum 3 years for the exam.

This time is more than enough to prepare for any exam.


I think You should join a good coaching centre which will give you a right direction towards your dream.

The test series they will provide would be All India test series which will show you your present performance and where you stand.

Then you can find out your strength and weakness and accordingly work out to improve your performance.

However Its not necessary to join coaching If you have the confidence to do on your own.

Just purchase some good study material and make a strategy based on daily basis.

Some extra tips:-

Make a habit of reading one or two newspapers daily.

Also subscribe to one or two monthly magazines.

Also watch some good English News Channels.
