I'm a 22-year-old [B.Tech](http://B.Tech) graduate with no work experience. My academics are 74% in 10th, 69% in 12th, and around 5.5 CGPA in engineering.

For the last 2 months, I've been actively applying for jobs, reaching out for referrals, and trying to get my foot in the door. However, the job market seems quite slow right now, with many companies reportedly under hiring freezes or hiring very selectively.

Because of this, I'm wondering whether it makes sense to use this time to seriously prepare for CAT/MBA instead of waiting around and hoping for opportunities to open up.

I know my academic profile isn't great, so I'm trying to be realistic. I'd appreciate honest feedback from people who had similar academics, took CAT, or decided against the MBA route altogether.

If you were in my position, would you spend the next year preparing for an MBA, or keep focusing entirely on getting a job and gaining work experience first?

Please be brutally honest. I'd rather hear the hard truth now than regret a decision later.

I’m in the final days of my B.Tech and I’m really confused about my result situation, so please help if anyone has faced something similar.

I had 2 backs in my 3rd year. For one subject, I applied for rechecking and luckily got passed after reevaluation.

For the second subject, my result is now showing “PWG” (Pass With Grace). But the issue is that before the PWG status appeared, I had already applied for the carry over/back exam because the rechecking result for the first subject came early and I thought I still had one back left.

Now in my admit card, the carry over exam for that PWG subject is not showing.

So my question is:
Is PWG considered fully passed and enough for the degree, or should I still try to give the COP/back exam? Will having PWG on the marksheet affect placements, degree validity, higher studies, etc. in the future?

Really stressed because graduation is very close. Any guidance would help a lot.
