The UPSC civil services exam is considered one of the toughest exams in the country. And, because of this, a lot of people recommend studying for about 15 hours per day during the IAS exam preparation time.
You will probably end up with an anxiety disorder or worse, nervous breakdown! UPSC prepping is all about smart study and not hard study. Your study schedule should accommodate good hours for relaxation, socializing and sleep as well.
The UPSC doesn’t expect you to know everything. There is a syllabus that you’re supposed to stick to. There are standard books available for reference. What is expected of you is to have a general understanding of the given syllabus that is enough to pen down your thoughts diagnostically and conceptually. I would recommend don't study for 15 hours a day. But yes consistency is important.
To be honest, like any other exam; this too has its limits. With the right strategy, you can break it down and successfully crack it. This exam demands a longer study process, but definitely isn’t as hard as everyone fears!
