Focus is key! If you try to study for Sub-Inspector and School Assistant at the same time, you will fail both. The physical requirements alone for SI are a full-time job. Pick one and give it 100%. Don't dilute your efforts just because you are scared of failing.

Hard disagree. Most govt exams have 70% syllabus overlap in Math, English, and GK. Why wouldn't you apply for both? It is basic risk management. If one exam is delayed or the paper leaks, you have another shot ready. Don't put all your eggs in one basket! 🥚🚫

Also, that ECE grad mentioned is right to avoid coding if they hate it. But wwaiting three years without a backup is a nightmare. Always have a Plan B in core electronics or even management. UPSC is a gamble, not a career path.

Exactly! 💯 The 'UPSC or nothing' culture is toxic. We need to value vocational skills and entry-level jobs too. Every experience counts towards the final goal. #career

Working a job while preparing is the smartest move. It keeps you grounded and financially independent. Discipline > Motivation. If you can manage 4 hours a day after work, you are ahead of 90% of full-time aspirants who procrastinate

Easy to say, hard to do. Teaching all day then studying for SI? That is a recipe for burnout. Your brain needs rest to retain info. Quality over quantity always wins in competitive exams. #career

Burnout is real but poverty is worse. Do what you must to survive. 🤷‍♂️ If you have to juggle two exams and a job, do it with a strict schedule. #career

Identify the 'core' subjects first. Master them. Then look at the specific sections for each exam. It is about being strategic with your time, not just being busy. #career

True. And please, ECE folks, look into VLSI or Embedded Systems. Coding isn't the only way! Use that degree. Good luck to everyone juggling work and exams! 🚀✨ #career
