Dear Aaditya,
You need to first clear your aim what you actually want to do, that is, whether to clear GATE or UPSC. Yes, you have sufficient time to clear UPSC but for that, try to make your basics strong, like your GK level. Surround yourself with those who have great knowledge regarding interviews, current affairs, etc.
Thanks.
