Dear if you provide your at least 80% or more time in only preparation for your civil services exam under a very good faculty or any coaching institute guidance then you can crack the IAS pre and mains both exams but you will have to make yourself strong for IAS exam because it is easy when we talk about IAS but it is toughest when we study or complete the syllabus of the exam so that you must be able to study for a long time in IAS exam and for example you should give at least 18-20 hours for you study and do not ask about any IAS topper in pre or mains because the toppers does not watch about the time and they are dedicated only to their study and they prepare for the exams after forgetting everything and if you will prepare hard then you can become an example for the world so that prepare for exam and try to crack very early.

All the best
