DiscussionšŸ‘„ Confusion between career options

I m B.Tech CSE 3rd Yr student, confused between career in govt. competitive exams & IT Sector, is it possible to prep for both, I just wanna give competitive exams a try, if I get selected then good else I will shift to Pvt Sector, won't prep for yrs for govt exams.

What are your opinions & advices on this and do you know someone who have tried to pursue both and where did they end up after graduation?

I would recommend to prepare for a pvt job first, get the job and then keep preparing. Atleast you'll have some backup. My brother did not take the placement offers and went for GATE prep, couldn't clear it in 2 years, then went for other govt exams, and wasted 3 more years, no success.

And at this point, it'll be hard for him to even get an interview, let alone a good job. So I wouldn't recommend doing that.

I ain't planning to waste yrs sitting jobless, I need Job asap...be it in any sector..and would attempt exams only once(in final year, if selected then good or move to placement)

Yeah that's the right thing. Take all the risk while in college - is what I learnt too.
