hi,

Preparing for UPSC right after 12th is a great idea if you’re clear about your goal. The UPSC exam is tough and needs consistent effort, so starting early can give you an advantage. First, focus on building a strong foundation by reading NCERT books from 6th to 12th — they cover important basics in history, geography, polity, and science.

Along with that, keep reading newspapers daily to stay updated on current affairs. It’s also good to start developing your writing skills because the exam has a big focus on essay and answer writing.

You don’t have to rush into coaching immediately; self-study with good guidance can work well. Later, when you feel ready, you can join a coaching institute or online classes for better preparation and exam strategies.

Most importantly, be patient and consistent. UPSC takes time and dedication, so make a study schedule, set small goals, and keep revising regularly.
