Should I drop a year to prepare for UPSC or pursue M.Com first?

If you want to crack UPSC CSE and you are serious for that then don't go for any other courses after graduation because it doesn't matter. You should continue preparation for the exam only.

Preparation for UPSC and M.Com can be done together. M.Com is subject specific specialization. However, UPSC preparation requires an all-round knowledge of the events happening regionally, nationally and internationally. Since PG is subject specific one can dedicate a stipulated time for its studies. For UPSC one should be able to classify what to study and what not. This approach develops with proper reading habit. To be more precise, a candidate has to be an intelligent reader. This actually enables to get a concise knowledge of various fields. One needs to be very strong in general studies and current affairs. So, it can be done simultaneously. The only pre-condition is complete devotion. I hope this would suffice.
