Ans: Dear Mehroom

Please check your eligibility for UPSC from age point of view, if you are eligible then please pursue it. If age limit is crossed than I would suggest explore job opportunities

All the best.

Ans: It sounds like you're facing a challenging situation, and it's understandable that you're feeling conflicted. Here are some points to consider:

1. Evaluate your situation: Take some time to assess why you haven't succeeded in the UPSC exams so far. Is it a lack of preparation, exam strategy, or other factors? Identifying the reasons can help you address them effectively.

2. Discuss with your parents: Have an open and honest conversation with your parents about your aspirations and concerns. Explain why you want to give the UPSC exam another try and discuss any alternative plans you might have.

3. Consider a compromise: Explore the possibility of finding a job that allows for some flexibility in your schedule, or one that aligns with your long-term goals. This way, you can gain work experience while still pursuing your dream of clearing the UPSC exams.

4. Create a balanced plan: If you decide to continue preparing for the exams, make sure to create a structured study plan that allows you to dedicate sufficient time to both studying and earning a living. This might involve setting specific study hours each day or week.

5. Seek support: Consider seeking guidance from mentors, tutors, or coaching institutes to enhance your preparation for the UPSC exams. Additionally, joining study groups or online forums can provide you with valuable insights and motivation.

6. Take care of yourself: It's essential to prioritize your mental and physical well-being during this time. Make sure to incorporate regular breaks, exercise, and relaxation activities into your routine to avoid burnout.

Ultimately, the decision to continue pursuing the UPSC exams or to take up a job depends on your individual circumstances and priorities. Remember that setbacks are a natural part of any journey, and it's okay to reassess your goals and make adjustments along the way. Trust yourself and have confidence in your abilities to overcome challenges and achieve success, whichever path you choose.

Ans: It is good that you tried to follow a certain path but did not succeed. Accept this reality and move ahead and the pursue a career of your choice. You must appreciate the fact that the UPSC exam preparations lent you lot of experience, learnings that you can leverage. Best course for him would be to upskill his computer science knowledge as this is one area that can lend opportunities to work from home. There are several online forums that can open up job opportunities. Similarly he can connect with his network of friends and classmates from your college over Linkedin or Whatsapp or Facebook groups and seek connections to jobs that his network may know.

Ans: Hello Sir

I know this can be a tough situation...

Suggest you re-apply to your old company and also apply to various other banks such as co-operative banks as well...Besides banks you may explore opportunities with CA firms and other private sector companies. Your banking experience will be of value to these companies.

All the best.

Ans: Revathi,

Regarding your interest in preparing for UPSC, first of all, do a thorough RESEARCH about UPSC Exam like Exam Pattern, Syllabus of the Exam, Evaluation, Level of Competition, Coaching Centre to Join (offline or online or self-study), Availability of Time Everyday (as you are in 3rd year CSC to study & perform well parallelly), Preparation Strategies, Selection Process, Last 5-10 Years Question Papers (which you can get online), Economic Status of Your Parents, & Level of your Aptitude, Attitude, Personality Traits & your Orientation Style (which you can come to know by attempting a Psychometric Test, meant for College Students). After Researching & Analyzing all these factors, if you are confident enough, you can start preparing for UPSC. Also, make sure that you will be able to prepare for UPSC simultaneously if you get a job after you complete your Graduation in CSC or you can focus only on UPSC (depends upon your family conditions).

Hope I have clarified your doubts.

All The BEST for your Bright Future.
