Career & Exam Path Counseling

I've been through a few different competitive paths myself: IIT JAM, BHU PET, CSIR JRF, a research role, the UPSC CSE interview stage, CAPF AC, and now PGPX at IIM Ahmedabad. Each one taught me something different about what these paths actually involve, beyond how they look from outside.

I know how confusing it can be when you're doing well across multiple areas and can't decide where to commit. This call is meant to be a straightforward conversation about that decision, not a lecture.

Useful if you're figuring out:

Research vs. government services vs. management, and what actually fits you

Whether to keep attempting an exam or shift to a different path

How to think about tradeoffs in time, effort, and risk across options

What day-to-day life actually looks like in paths you're considering

What we'll do:

Talk through your background, interests, and constraints

Go over the realistic pros and cons of the paths you're weighing

End with a clear next step, based on what makes sense for you, not a generic answer
