About UPSC Civil Services Exam:
UPSC Civil Services Exam is one of the most prestigious exams in the country. It has three parts, the Prelims exam, the Main exam and the Personality test, which you need to clear in order to become an IAS or IPS officer. All other Group A services of the Government of India recruit people through the UPSC Civil services exam itself and because of this, there is a lot of competition in this exam. Hence, your UPSC preparation should be strategic, informed and well planned.
Your UPSC preparation should not be based on blind adherence to any program. Rather you should give a thought about how your are preparing. The best way to go forward is to study the blogs and tips given by previous year toppers about how to go about UPSC CSE for all three stages of UPSC Prelims, UPSC Mains and the Personality test also known as the UPSC Interview, and then make your UPSC preparation strategy accordingly.
Doing static subjects like polity, economy, environment, geography and history for your UPSC preparation is a solid bet to increase your chances of clearing this exam. But this must all be supplemented by current affairs for best effect.

But then this is going to compromise a lot of content. I don't feel any resistance toward reading monthly magazines and I have been reading religiously from Jan 2022 to up to date from Vision IAS. I have revised 4 times every monthly magazine till today. I think I should stick to it. What do you think?

I request you to try expanding your UPSC education platform in live to places like Siliguri or Gangtok or Darjeeling. We have no good institute or a genuine mentor or coaching in the eastern part of India where the craze for UPSC is simmering slowly.

If you understand nitin Singhania you should go for it. Actually mrunal notes are less useful if you don't see his lectures, he explains with memes and all so only the students who watch his lectures understand that ... otherwise most of the books are same cover the same topics just the order is different
