Yes, you can do your research work and prepare for the UPSC exams at the same time. This will require some extra efforts and dedication, but it is possible to prepare for the UPSC while doing research. The following tips can help you:
1. You can choose your master subject as optional. For example, if you have a master's in sociology, you can take that subject as an optional paper in the UPSC Mains.
2. You can make a proper schedule, devoting 4 hours per day to UPSC preparation.
3. There are numerous online resources that provide Current Affairs notes, which can help you save time when taking notes.
4. You can cover the syllabus with the help of seniors or online resources.

The syllabus and exam pattern of IBPS are completely different from those of UPSC. The IBPS exam demands good accuracy and speed in math. The UPSC expects you to understand the concept.
1. The quantitative and reasoning sections of both exams are similar, but the CSAT paper is only qualifying in the UPSC exam.
2. As a result, you must plan your study time so that you can devote the same amount of practice time to both exams.
3. For example, you can do focused study for 4 hours for IBPS 6 months before the exam and allot 5 hours to the UPSC syllabus.
4. You can solve previous year's questions of the UPSC CSAT to make sure your IBPS preparation is helping you in this paper. This will save you time for extra study for the CSAT paper of the UPSC preliminary. Also, you need to focus on the previous year's papers for both exams to study important topics.

Hi Yashi, The UPSC is one of the most enriching and challenging journeys. This exam is rightly called a "marathon, " as it takes almost one year to prepare and another one year to appear in the exam. One mistake at any stage, and you will have to start all over again. As a result, you must accept that the success rate for this exam is only 0.01 percent. You are not an average student, as you have graduated from one of the preeminent universities, DU. Most students aspire to get into Delhi University for graduation. To make this journey a baptismal life journey, you need to have a plan B. There is nothing wrong with that. Plan B could be to pursue a master's degree from IGNOU in your optional subject. The IGNOU content will help you in the optional papers of the UPSC Mains, and your degree can make you eligible to apply for a fellowship, a NET, or other jobs. You should concentrate on understanding the concepts in the syllabus because it will help you in other exams as well. For example, if you did well on the CSAT, you can apply for the banking exams. You can take state PSC exams if you are studying GS well. As a UPSC aspirant, you have to study everything under the sun, and you can benefit from it by preparing your knowledge for future opportunities. A simple formula is to value yourself and not confine yourself to UPSC. It is totally fine to feel anxious; every aspirant goes through this. You just have to look at the bright side with a positive mindset. You can share issues you are facing in the comment section, and I will try to assist you with my experience. Best wishes.
