Can I crack Civil Services Exam by just studying only on weekends? Let me know about the mandatory optional subjects for it. Does the syllabus for subjects change every year?

Hi,
I am a software engineer working in a reputed company and aspiring to give Civil Services exam.
Would it be possible for me to study on weekends and still be able to crack this exam ?
If yes , then plz let me know the mandatory as well as optional subjects and best books for it .
Also does the syllabus changes every year ? ..because if I buy the books now and give the exam 2-3 yrs later then may be by that time syllabus may change .....
Do u recommend to join any coaching class or is it possible for anyone to crack this exam studying on their on own ?

Civil Service Exam is tough so work hard is necessary.

I think only weekend is not enough for preparation.

You should join any Best Coaching Center or

Should study at home daily 2 or 3 hours.

You should solve previous question paper.
You should helping books of Good Prakashan.
