Dear Abhiram,

Both have pros and cons so your final decision should align with your career goals, interests, and personal circumstances. Explore your options, and seek guidance as needed to make the right decision. Doing a Masters adds to your area of ​​specialization, improves your knowledge and expertise and opens up more advanced opportunities and better benefits in the long run. However, this requires an investment of time and money. Balancing Master’s courses and UPSC preparation can be challenging and requires effective time management skills, hard work, consistency and dedication. You can also work after completing your B.Tech. and gain practical experience in the industry and then Master’s plan. You will be financially independent and able to support your education. However, your career advancement may be limited in certain industries where you only have a Bachelor’s degree. Preparing for UPSC with full-time work is almost impossible and requires serious discipline and commitment. Seek guidance from career counselors, professors, mentors, and professionals in the field to gain insight and advice based on your interests, skills, and career goals.
