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.

@@kanchanhungund7221 start with two subjects, mostly people's prefer going with polity and economy as they are more static + current, and then try to make ur goals and targets on a weekly basis this will make ur routine flexible as this preparation is much longer so u can't make daily plans as per hours, u need to work seeing weekly and monthly targets.. And then try to cover the things Like what I do is say in next week I'll set a week target of completing 8th polity of ncert and 9th class eco ncert Likewise I'll proceed further

Sir, I made my timetable and decided to take break every Sunday but after every 4th day I feel tired and even if I force myself to sit and study, my efficiency and speed decreases and I feel headache and after that demotivation and fear of failure follows. In this way my whole day got wasted thinking about same thing and saying myself "I am not discipline enough and I can't control myself enough" sir I feel low whenever my discipline break, and it break many times in a day. Sir, How can I tackle this? This is happening to me over and over again.
