OUT Seems they are butchering medical sciences especially after 2014 . It was easy to score before 2014. Already in service but not satisfied at all. Now I think only IAS or IPS can satisfy me nothing less. Mains went well especially optional. I predicted almost 80% questions. I was very hopeful . Don't know what went went wrong . Totally agree with @GKS08 . Start preparing for pg after 3 attempts . No need to waste time. I am also planning to start pg preparation . Getting 2 digit rank with medical sciences now seems a long shot for me . Crossing 300 with MS is now very difficult .
Bhai log, same story with management and law again .. we have been targeted .. and you know where this bias is coming from despite an easy paper this year
Indian Information Services - Assistant director -All india Radio Before that got in Railway Protection Force and IOFS Its was better if I was never selected . This was my 4th mains and best prepared one . Couldn't even qualify mains. Randomness is there and hard to deny . Did everything- test ,notes ,optional ,essay ... But clean bowled . My life is fucked up now. All my batchmates are now well settled , making name fame and money . and here I am - telecasting programmes on goddamn AIR which one listens to in time of FM. Cherry on the topping is that i resigned my pedia seat for UPSC. But planning to start preparing for pg again otherwise i will regret my whole life .

Thanx for the insights. I am considering for going back to PG prep. Atleast there is an assured seat after hardwork.

Bhai.one unsolicited advice. Even medical field is extreme difficult nowadays. Even after doing PG you would be searching for jobs in government sector. Please reconsider all options. Assistant director atleast has a peaceful life.
I am from Indian Postal Service 2014 batch got that in the very first attempt at very young age despite scoring a historic low of 53 in essay. Then over the years improved the rank to my best of 400’s last year but nothing changed as IRS CnCE seats were reduced to half and i was not in a position to quit my present service and move to another because of the stupid seniority i have here.
The service is like an average day job nothing compared to the work of a medico and so are other services. So always keep a plan B ready. Even if you are in service. I have mine ready but that comes into action maybe after 5-7 yrs. So be prepared for anything all the time. Thats the way to go, wherever you are in service or back to medicine.

Thanks bhai for your advice . Baat sahi hai its difficult to settle. But the pain is for initial few years and then everything falls in line.Yahan Government salary pe ghar chalana muskhil hai . My juniors are earning more than me after MBBs only .Along with that koi khaas recognition nahi hai .Studio me politicians , bureaucrats se mulakaat ho jaate hai , bas . Aur koi bole ya na bole money matters . Yahan na paisa hai , na recognition , na koi kaam , bas ek bada naam hai post ka . Pseudo happiness k liye acha hai but andar k baat to mann jaanta hai . Everything is phoney. I quit medical field to do something dynamic, to serve society and to earn a name . I would have been satisfied with my salary if I was in IAS and doing what i dreamt of . But i am in a dull and mundane job. Medical is far more dynamic than this . Infact as rightly pointed by @GKS08 after IRS none match our field. Now i know I dont have calibre to get into IAS. so pg is best option for me . PG seats have increased and there is certainty in that .
After being in service for the last 4 years and having friends across all the services my observation is that IPS is the most unsatisfied lot. IAS are putting up a happy face coz they are IAS otherwise most of them are not very content. IRS IT ppl seem the most satisfied. All others are same , all will feel that void.
So with time focus on other things like family and also your plan B. Life in services is not that easy. I am 1500 kms away from home in a job i dont like but yes i can see a future beyond upsc and this job. So do what you think is the best for you. Never stop working.

Its the right time to start too. Certainty of seat after hard work is best part after facing UPCS . UPSC is a gamble , indulge in it , but dont destroy your future. For a medico , its not only selection that matters . Rank has to be within 300 for a general candidate to attain some level of job satisfaction .
