A candidate can apply for the Indian Administrative services through civil service examination. This examination is conducted by the UPSC every year. This exam is conducted in 2 phases. 1 phase is preliminary round and the 2nd one is mains. Candidates who qualify in the 1st round will be called for the 2nd round and the candidates who qualify in the 2nd round will be called for the Interview test. The eligibility required for the civil service examination is given below:

Education Qualification

HOW MUCH TIME TO STUDY IN A DAY FOR BECOMING IAS

First, you should be mentally fully prepared to bear the strain of this one-year-long exam; and second, you should have (or develop) a sound expression (written as well as verbal) in the medium (language) you want to appear with. Once you have obtained these two qualifications, other issues regarding preparation for the exam can be handled better and easily.
Conceptual questions can be handled more effectively only if Mains is prepared first. Besides, objective facts can be related and remembered easily only when a sound conceptual base is pre-existing. Therefore, your strategy for preparation of Prelims should be such that you are thorough in your first optional (that you take in Prelims as well as in Mains) as also in G.S.
This is important because you do not get enough time after Prelims to prepare for the Mains.

Thanks...
