I am a Mechanical Engineering 2nd year student at IIT Kanpur. I want to start my preparation for IAS from now onwards. What should I do?

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 ear
