UPSC ya PhD is saal - seniors kehte hain dono saath manage nahi hote
Should i go for Phd this year or not? Preparing like this without any back-up is draining me and hampering my confidence. But my seniors tell me that upsc cannot be managed along with Phd so i ll have choose any one. I am so worried:)

@rathiprati @curiousradz Left job(ast prof) with PhD for cse. One exam, one focus...everything else is noise.

@The_hitman doesn't the ques of failing upsc disturbs ur mind

Upsc and Phd both require excellence in their respective work. So you need to choose one. And by looking at your trophy shelf, I think you don't wanna be a person who just sails through mediocre average phd.
