Since dates are not announced i even completed mains syllabus ,, iam getting frustrated and binge watching web series .so what to do

Ans: Hello
Simple and straight advice will be to either pick up a job in your field or go for some vocational/higher course that will improve your employability.
No one stops your from pursuing your PCS goal as and when things become clear, we have many examples of people doubling up and still cracking the exams. But just sitting idle in the wait is not advisable since you have already spent considerable time/energy in that pursuit.
All the Best!

Please help me, I am 20 years old. I pass out class 12th from Maharashtra board in 2022, I have been preparing for NEET exam from class 11th, 2 years I studied in Aakash Institute gave NEET after class 12th, my first attempt 289/720 (2022). After that I decided to take one year drop, so I went Kota studied in Allen Institute for one year, My father took a loan of 5 lakhs for me, but again I failed in second attempt 362/720(2023), came back home, enrolled in a private university for bsc biotech and along with it I again start preparing, now only 6 days left for exam & i have not touch my book since last 1 month, I studied hard for few months after second failure but then I quit studying I waste my time into relationship,porn, overthinking, masturbation etc. Now what I should do I know I will fail again in my third attempt but what I will do after that? Should I start prepare for UPSC? Should I do BBA ? Im totally confused about my future! ease someone help me should I take regular admission into some university? Should I do BA? Im totally fucked up, I have even tried to end my life so many times, I have even ran away to haridwar when I was in Kota ..but things dont happen according to me i always failed in anything I do...My friend now are in their third year they will complete their undergraduation & im here whining about my life.. even my parents have started to hate me..leave relatives...please guide me my mental health has been derailed by these exams...please help me ???? i dont jave even friends to whom i share my pain and from whom i should get guidance

Ans: Hello,
first of all, you need to calm down & settle down your negative thought process. At least you are clear & honest enough to admit your mistakes. That's the first step towards success.

Decide your goal & make a road map to achieve it. Follow it diligently & avoid distractions that come along the journey. If you are unable to control your negative thoughts seek professional counseling. All the best.

Hello,sir.i am going through phase of anxiety and depression due to my bad time in career,i want some guidance what should I do, i graduated in mathematics(hon.) from du in 2021,since then I am preparing for upsc but can't crack.. now I have no work experience and age of 26.. I once thought for preparing cat but gap year and age haunt me ,what should I do

Ans: Hello dear.
I am glad to hear that you graduated in Mathematics (Hon) and that too from DU in 2021. Trying and not getting success in competitive exams is a part of life. Very few got success in the exams like UPSE or other parallel exams but the rest of the students do not get depressed. You have wasted your years rather you learned a lot more. Remember a failure person can become a good coach and can give better guidance. There are many examples where failed candidates have started their coaching centers in their respective fields. Even you can also try. You can try your career options, particularly in fields like finance, data analysis, actuarial science, research, and teaching, with roles including Actuary, Statistician, Data Scientist, Financial Analyst, Market Research Analyst, Operations Research Analyst, Mathematician, and Lecturer/Professor at various academic institutions.
But above all, if you are thinking of preparing for CAT, then a year gap is not more, and remember, you have to hit the target/goad up to the age of 28 only! Yet 2 attempts are in your hand! If your financial situation permits you, and you are dam sure about your preparation then you can take the chance else choose other career options as mentioned earlier to you.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Sir, please help me to choose between CSE in IIIT SRI CITY and CSE in IIIT KOTTAYAM

Ans: Both IIIT Sri City and IIIT Kottayam are good options for CSE, but IIIT Sri City generally has a slight edge in placements and industry connections due to its location. However, IIIT Kottayam is a strong contender with a good coding culture and a rapidly developing infrastructure.
