Need genuine suggestions!

Hi everyone,

I graduated from a Tier-1 DU college in 2023 (Female, non-engineer, OBC) and have been preparing for UPSC since then. Unfortunately, things haven’t really worked out and now I genuinely want to come out of this exam loop and move forward in life.

My academics are 8/9/7, but I’m feeling quite skeptical because of the gap years. I’m confused about whether I should prepare for CAT and try for MBA colleges, or focus on getting into a corporate job directly and build my career from there (any suggestions)

Would the gap years affect MBA admissions or placements heavily? And realistically, what would be the better path at this stage?

I’d really be grateful for any honest advice or guidance from people who’ve been in a similar situation. Thank you!
