General Preparation of Civil Services/IAS Exam

In general an year long preparation is enough to make you ready for having an successful attempt at Civil Services. However, there is something called luck factor as well, so in case you don't hit the target early , just keep trying. 

For me the things were a bit different during preparation as I was working  till Prelims. I appeared for prelims on 12th June 2011 with month long preparation.
After prelims I took break from job and started with Mains Preparation. During the preparation I did not take any coaching , however I joined test series for answer writing practice.  For interview  as well , I did self  preparation and  appeared for  2 mock interviews.

Overall My Experience with UPSC has been that there is no fix formula for success. You have to prepare your strategy according to your circumstances and ability.

Sir, just to correct you about National science day thing...it was not the pokhran test(which took place in May) due to which it was celebrated on feb 28 each yr bt its the day raman effect was discovered in 1928. Hope this makes sense.
