Hi Sangam,
IAS is a tough Examination and highly competitive, so you need to start working on the preparation of IAS at an early stage. However, as every Individual is different and so is his Capabilities, it would largely depend on your individual capacity that how much time you will take to prepare. An average student would require at least an year to prepare for IAS prelim so, keeping in mind all the factors you can decide on what would be the right time for you to start your preparation.
I would like to add here as IAS is tough you should opt for a coaching rather than self study. For more information on coaching institutes please check the link below:
