History optional mains 2020

Guys this is not related to the group topic.

Have failed this prelims.Was my 3rd attempt.

Dont know the reason,but was getting 102.6 as per many keys and was also ok in csat (around 75).

Now my family is very less supportive of my further attempts as havent yet cleared even pre stage.They have told me to decide on future course of action now.I may prepare while working.But I wont get a good job on basis of my BE.For that MBA is an option.(I dont want to appear in other govt exams as I hate work culture there.Only IAS was my dream which seems far far away).But doing CAT and giving mba will dash my hopes of appearing for cse next year as I wont be able to manage both stuff.

Even Im unsure whether to continue preparation or not.I have a family business too and if Im too late I may not get the opportunity to be part of it as my father wants to retire because of personal issues.

Please guide me with some light.

 MBA from top colleges like IIM ABC L I is anyday better than 90% of the CSE posts on offer barring IAS and maybe IPS. Rest are simply clerical jobs. And you need to get into top 100 ranks in general category for IAS. Better to give MBA see whether you get a good college as if you have a multi year gap you will struggle to even get placed in ordinary colleges. However if you do make it to the top IIMs forget about CSE for now enjoy corporate culture and then after a few years you can always reapper. If all of that also fails business is the best thing and you already are set like u said with your family business. ATB!
