You are pursuing MBBS third year so that you are not eligible to apply for civil service exams this year so you have a complete year to prepare for your exams and you can easily manage the time for your preparation along with your MBBS studies and you should prepare by following this procedure

MBBS is a practical degree so that you have to give more time for your MBBS so you should give at least 3 hours everyday for your civil service and you may choose morning time for your preparation of civil service then go to college and complete your MBBS work and if you are really dedicated for your study then you may easily prepare for your civil service exams and may learn everything easily.

You should purchase some following books for this exam and if possible then you should keep in touch with any coaching and collect some study material according to your new syllabus and if possible then visit to the coaching once or twice in a week
