Civil Servant (IAS/PCS)

There is neither exact syllabus nor any book for the preparation of civil service exams.

Yes, you can crack UPSC without any coaching if you are perfect in your studies and preparation, otherwise coaching is necessary.
For essay writing you have to do a lot of writing practice.
But, who will tell your mistakes in answer writing, who will correct you. How will you know whatever you have written, whatever you have practiced is right or wrong, at this stage you will definitely require coaching.
My suggestion is, go for coaching for essay writing at least.
Coaching institutions show you a path and if you're really thirsty for IAS or IPS you should prepare.
