Hi,
The qualification required to appear in UPSC is Graduation so you need to first take admission in Graduation. It is good that in 12th only you are clear about your goals and now you can plan the time keeping your goal in mind. You can start preparing from your first year of graduation only. There is one main paper in UPSC which you have to choose by yourself and if you do your graduation in the same subject it would be better. -
Once you are into your graduation level, start preparing for the respective IISC exam form, your first years is graduation onwards. -
Please specify which UPSC exam do you want to appear for as there are many types of UPSC exams. -

Hello Dear, You have just completed 12th. You will have to go for graduation. So don't make a time table for UPSC now. Whenever you get some time, do revise all the topics of History, Geography, Political Science that you have read in your school. Now come to the current affairs section. Do read some newspaper, read the important exam oriented issues. This will definitely help you to score a good mark in UPSC. -
First of all, you need a Bachelor's degree, so do that and then side by side, if you want you can also prepare for you UPSC exam.
