Stuck at Career Crossroads: Former Software Developer Seeking Guidance

I have just recently completed my btech in Computer science engineering from a tier 3 engineering college in Kolkata. Being a tier 3 college, there weren't any decent on campus placements. Further, I always wanted to become an IFS( Indian Foreign Service) officer, so always wanted to sit for UPSC after finishing my graduation. But now that I have seriously started thinking about it, I am not sure what to do. I mean I want to pursue UPSC, there is no financial pressure from family, atleast not for the next 2 years but I feel like if I don't make it (since I have to consider the scenario that I may fail to crack the exam), I don't know whether I will be able to get a job after 2 years gap after graduation in IT sector or will I be able to pursue further studies such as MS from USA or MBA from tob b schools in India. I am feeling depressed and helpless as I am unable to decide what to do? Should I just start looking for a job right now or just prepare for UPSC and don't worry about those stuff right now. I would greatly appreciate your answers and views in this matter.

I'm 24.5 years old female, unemployed B.Tech graduate. Prepared TN state services Exam for 3.5 years. Failed in final stage. Gave few central govt exams also but in that also failed in final stage. Financial condition : single mother with 15k salary. Brother preparing for jee 2024. He has to join engineering in june 2024. Uncertain. My state of mind : 1. I must give SSC exam which are on second half of 2024. But i am afraid, if i dont clear this time, another 1 year waste of time. 2. I can't imagine myself in IT industry/BPO because i fear coding and tele calling job because of their uncertain nature. 3. At present, i can't ask my mother for my marriage also because this year my brother's college addmission is the priority? What should i do?

I completed my graduation in 2023 and since then i have been in confusion what to do in life.I prepared for AAI ATC 2023 but failed by 1 mark.From february 2024 I had been preparing for SSC CGL 2024 cleared pre by securing 165 but got only 307 in mains.While preparing for SSC i was very motivated and had the confident of clearing the exam but after the answer key and cutoff analysis i have lost hope.I am no more interested in preparation for this exam and want to be financially independent as soon as possible.Should I give one more chance to this exam or do something else?(MBA).I am turning 22 this year.
