Hi Khajabi,
IAS is one of the reputed services and you can have a great career ahead provided you are able to clear the exam and the personal interview round.
There are two stages of IAS which you need to clear: Preliminary & Main.
Prelim: As the Prelim Exam pattern is changing now instead of subject Knowledge you have to focus more on areas like decision making skills, logical and analytical abilities and the knowledge in the services in which you want to pursue your career. Since the preliminary exam is an elimination round the candidate should also learn to focus only on the information needed and filter out the rest.
Mains: the preparation of Mains should start at least a year in advance. Just because you have to prepare for Essay, GS and the two optional you never get enough time (to prepare for all these) Further, it is on the basis of your performance in Mains, on which mainly depends the final outcome of your efforts. You should think about appearing in the Prelims only when you have had a strong grip over the Mains' subject matter.
