I remember Head, Pat, Klassen played once

I’m 23 (2024 B.Tech passout) from Hyderabad. I worked a corporate job for 8 months, resigned to prepare for GATE, but didn't get into my preferred college. Now through CCMT counseling, I can get M.Tech Geoinformatics at NIT Warangal, but I am in a huge confusion right now.

I gave a trial attempt at UPSC in 2025 just for experience, but now I really want to focus on it full-time with Sociology optional. Here are the two choices I'm stuck between:

Option 1: Take a pure drop for UPSC

• I stay at home and study full-time.
• But I am genuinely terrified of the UPSC cycle. What if I don't clear it even after 4 or 5 attempts? I've heard so many horror stories of people failing and having to start their careers completely fresh at age 28 or 29 with a huge gap on their resume. That scares me to death.

Option 2: Join NIT Warangal as a backup

• My doubts: I talked to some current students on LinkedIn and they said the curriculum is pretty hectic, involves a lot of coding, and placements (Im not looking for it) are just average (around 6–8 LPA). Will the college work leave me with zero time for UPSC, basically just delaying my dream by 2 years?
• The Interview: I've watched mock interviews on YouTube where the panel grills candidates for "wasting a tech seat" just to switch fields. Will the real UPSC interview board penalize an M.Tech graduate or give low marks, ruining my chances at IAS?

Is it practically possible to handle a master's program and crack UPSC simultaneously, or is it too difficult? Should I take the risk and study from home, or take the NITW seat just to be safe?

Any honest advice or real stories would mean a lot. Thanks! You can DM also

I just want to know how is this course and placements in last 2 years. In NIT's I heard that Warangal is top in this course. Im not from Civil background. I don't have a hope in GNR IIT bombay, so this will be my 2nd in priority list.

If anyone already doing mtech here.. pls reply or DM. Your insights will be very helpful to me.

23M. I just want to know how this course and placements is in last 2 years. In NIT's I heard that Warangal is top in this course. Im not from Civil background. I don't have a hope in GNR IIT Bombay, so this will be my 2nd in priority list.

My qualifications - 2024 passed out with 8 months experience in GIS Engineer

Is this course really worth it or should I drop my plan and prepare for govt exams

I hated the '2026 is the new 2016' slogan until yesterday. I didn't believe the hype; I thought it was just for fun and wishful thinking. But seeing SRH and GT in the top two has changed everything. If both teams make it to the finals and it's played at GT's home ground, it’ll be exactly like 2016 when we faced RCB in their own backyard.

Plus, we have Pat Cummins and Travis Head, who have already proven they can win high-pressure finals in that stadium. I’m finally getting those incredible positive vibes.

Let’s go, Orange Army!

Now IPL too.

I don't bother if its 1 or 2 times but now this is happening very frequently.

I accept this if it was 2021-2023 era where no one shown interest on us by our game play. But after 2024 season how the hell they are sidelining us.

Now, only with trophy we should show their levels. It's must.
