If your goal is only to achieve you will have no restrictions regarding height

because IPS has more concern towards height

I think you are more concerned about IAS

To Crack a competitive exam like IAS that is CSE(Civil Services Examination)

you have to work hard

along with hard work you should do a lot of things

according to me i'll mention some points

->You should have a thorough grip on the exam pattern and syllabus

->No single book can get you a good rank so go accordingly to the topic no matter how many books you refer the ultimate goal is you should get the gist of the topic.

->Go for experienced persons feedback

->Do hard work with smart planning

->Keep continous revision tests and mock tests for your progress in the subject

this will enhance your skills in the preparation

marks acheiving capability

go for variety of authors and also you should go for online materials and web videos

learn in all the possible ways

~Regards~
