Last few months of full-trme preparation would be needed in 2nd and 3rd chances. I gave CSS last year with full preparation and scored reasonable marks failing in precise. This year when I sat down to prepare, I realized that I had forgotten everything and had to start from scratch. In sum, if you want to give CSS with job, you will have no respite. As soon as you get back home, you will have to start studying. You will have to devote as much time in a full year as aspirant preparing full-time gives in last few months.
