Not years, but if you prepare with full dedication, 3-6 months is enough time to prepare for UPSC prelims exam. You are anyways halfway there when you do an integrated preparation for both Prelims and mains together and shift your focus only to prelims 2-3 months prior to the exam. It is sufficient time to crack Prelims with a good score. Although you can take Prelims test series to check your preparation level before you sit for the real exams.

Sir, I want to start preparation of IAS. But my English is weak so how to prepare IAS.
It's too easy to learn. Nothing to worry. To achieve your dream you have to put your effect. Most of the IAS officers are from backwards school only. Go towards your dream.
