Please tell the duration for UPSC preparation . Success ratio? Total seats?

Hello Sujal,

There's no fixed duration for UPSC Civil Services Exam. You have to make your preparation plan according to the time/months/days you have for the exam and how much can you really study on daily basis. One size fits all formula doesn't work here. Someone can crack the exam with a study routine of 4 hours for 6 months, while someone else can do the same with a study regime of 8 hours for 1 year or more. There are various factors involved. Your grasping power also determines how much time would you take to prepare for the exam.

Secondly, if you are prepared well, then success ration becomes insignificant for you.

The number of total seats also vary from year to year.

One of the most important factors in cracking UPSC Civil Services exam is clearing the interview. Click Here to know how to prepare for UPSC Civil Services Interview

Hi student,

UPSC examination is one of the toughest entrance examinations in the country. It takes years of preparation for some while only one year for others. It totally depends on the individual. As far as success ratio is concerned, it is eight lakhs of students competing for a few hundred seats. Moreover, its vast and diverse syllabus makes it more difficult. The seats for UPSC examination including all the posts like IAS, IPS, IFS, IT, group A and group B services etc is around 1200. So you need atleast one year of preparation to qualify for UPSC.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.
