Nice to see your passion for the civil Service exam. You can be a civil servant and can serve the country.

Yes friend you can continue your preparation for civil service exam from your home. You can study of civil service syllabus at home.

But you would have some need of guidance which you can get with your senior who is preparing for civil service exam or from any coaching institute.

You should do the conceptual study for the civil service exam.

Friend in my knowledge there are no institute or very few institute which are offering civil service coaching in free of cost.

But these coaching can reduce the amount of fee for the brilliant student. I thing you should talk with coaching institute.
