If you have hearing problem in one ear then there is no problem because there is no such provision in the notice given that a candidate having problem in ear will not be eligible to apply for this examination so you must apply and start preparation because you are eligible.

If you have disability in one year of minimum 40% then you may come under HI - Hearing Impaired category and your category would be PH which would be better for you because cut off marks for PH category are less than required so get your problem be checked by a medical officer/ doctor and if the report says that you have minimum 40% disability by ear then you will get a medical PH certificate that would provide you relaxation in examination but if less than 40% then you will be considered a normal candidate.

The latest notice of Civil service examination will be issued on 16th of May and online registration will close on 12th June 2015 so you must visit the official website of UPSC board and apply online for this recruitment examination.

The examination of civil service prelims will be conducted on 23rd of August 2015 so you have just few months left to get prepared for this examination so focus on preparation and apply at first so you could get prepared well without any problem.

You should go to any coaching center if you seriously want to qualify this examination but if you want then you can prepare yourself by just reading few good books of General Studies and CSAT because qualifying is compulsory and marks of prelims are not added into final selection of the candidate so wish is yours whatever you want.
