I’m posting this because I genuinely need some honest advice from people who have been through something similar.

I left my job in January 2026 with the plan of preparing seriously for SSC CGL 2027. I thought having a full year would give me enough time to prepare properly.

I bought the Parmar SSC All Batch and initially thought I would follow it consistently. But somehow, I couldn’t maintain the routine. I would study for a few days, then lose the flow, and the cycle would repeat.

Later, I thought maybe online preparation wasn't working for me, so I decided to join offline coaching. I attended classes for a few days, but eventually I stopped going there as well.

Now it’s already October 2026, and I feel completely stuck.

The frustrating part is that I know what I need to do. I have the resources, I have time, and I genuinely want to clear SSC CGL. But I’m unable to consistently follow through.

I have tried different approaches — online classes, offline coaching, making schedules, trying to motivate myself, etc. But I keep falling back into the same pattern.

At this point, I’m confused about what I should do:

- Should I continue preparing for SSC CGL 2027?

- Should I get a job again and prepare alongside it?

- Should I completely change my approach to preparation?

- How do I actually develop the discipline to sit and study every day?

- Is it even realistic to start seriously from October and target CGL 2027?

I’m not looking for motivational quotes or generic advice like “just be disciplined”. I genuinely want to hear from people who have struggled with consistency, wasted months, restarted their preparation, or successfully recovered from a similar situation.

If you were in my position right now in October 2026, what would you honestly do?

Please give me your most practical and sincere advice, even if it’s harsh. I really need some direction because I’ve tried many things and I still haven’t been able to make myself follow through.

Need Parmar Sir's UP GK batch/group on Telegram. If anyone has the link or batch, please share it with me. Thanks!
