Step 1: Know the exam well. Step 2: Strengthen your foundation. Step 3: Upgrade Your Knowledge with standard books. Step 4: Practice Answer Writing + Revision. Step 5: Mock-Test Based Learning Approach. Beginners should ideally get at least 10 12 months before the UPSC prelims exam for preparation. You can comprehensively cover the syllabus and have enough test practice only then. You should start with the common GS papers before moving on to the optional papers.

In my opinion, if you want to prepare for UPSC or any other competitive exams later, you can pursue a BA in Political Science, Economics, History, or Sociology. Since their syllabus is heavily equipped with GK, Indian and world history, public policy, public administration, Indian and world politics, it'll be easier for you to strengthen your base.
