I am a doctor and have very long duty hours but still I try studying atleast 5 hours daily,its possible if the will power is there

Of course u can do it. I have cleared the written exam this year while doing a job. In my opinion the only problem is with our self confidence coz we don't think we can make it whereas infact our job experience expands our vision and ability to grasp things quickly. I for example, when once finally committed myself for the studies Found it very easy to get to the concepts of things which I was previously finding very hard. So go for it and please don't waste time like I did and do it immediately. Trust me u would really enjoy your tiime.

:vicof course u can do it.

I think that there is nothing impossible.definitely,as per time,it is bit hard for a individual to prepare himself for this exam............
in every exam of the life,some hardships difinitely persist,but a person should stand to that hardships.
spend the time,after yr wrkng hours, preparing yrself for ths exam ,and believe me you will get best fruit from that.
best of luck.

yes, a man can do everything, but for this the person should be pationated about its dreams.

Real time required for preparation in unit of hours
 

I really appreciate above posts, very helpful and sincere guidance from seniors on this forum.

But even we would like to appreciate some precise calculation in unit of hours for the time required to prepare for CSS (i.e ofcourse for six compulsories & frequently opted optionals).

And wat about the strategy! Some seniors advise very limited books while others recommend a bunch under each title.
Where is the benchmark through which everybody could go through & reach up to the mark.

posiblity is always there
 

Of course, it is possible
rather i would say that such a person will have more committed and responsible and will do it in a better way

dear surely u cn do it....may ALLAH showrz HZ blesngz upon u......
