Also,

As you are preparing for your UPSC civil services examination just after your 12th you must be pursuing your graduation right now as to be eligible for UPSC one needs to be at least a graduate so make a routine or a time table and try to maintain a balance between your studies for  graduation and your studies for UPSC preparation and religiously follow it , take short breaks in between your studies.

*Read newspaper daily and keep yourself updated with the current affairs

*Choose your optional subject wisely , choose the subject you have interest in.

*Make short notes for each subject, it  will help you in your revisions a lot as syllabus is wide

*Revise :- there's no point of preparing for the exam if you couldn't recall anything in the UPSC Examination so you should stress on revision as well.

*Solve previous year question papers and mock test papers ;- You should solve these , it will give you idea of types of questions asked and their difficulty level and will help you a lot.

*Also work on your communication skills and personality development as it plays an important role in your interview round
