How to start preparing for ias if i have 3 years

Hi, Preparing for IAS requires combination of smartness and hard work. Do the right things to gain an edge over your competition: *Get the right books for Prelims *Start preparing at least 10 months before *Solve past year questions to test yourself on regular basis *Cover the scoring sections early *Cover the syllabus strategically. Don't go for a &quot;prepare all&quot; approach for IAS prelims *Balance paper 1 and 2 I would suggest you to spend quality time everyday by reading journals, magazines, newspapers, etc. You may also refer the books below: Indian Politics by Lakshmikanth Ancient History by D.D.Kausambi’s R.S.
