Need a monitor to use it as an extra screen for my laptop. Use - mostly studying.

Place - near Yelahanka would be preferred

Budget - around 1k

Where can I find a section or subject-wise question bank for BPSC? Both PYQs + New ones (including this year current affairs). Please help!

Hi,

I am 29M. I am in a dilemma on what to focus on?

I am hoping to be in the reserve list of UPSC 2025 (quite likely tbh - not sure about the service though). I am skipping 2026 (not because of new rule but i am just a bit tired) and going for a final attempt in 2027.

Now there is an RBI grade B vacancy that came early this year. Frankly I was not hoping for another chance at RBI due to age limit (I cleared phase 1 last year) but this year I have another chance (but again the vacancies are too low - I am from UR so basically its only 16). The thing with RBI is that there is only minimum overlap with Civil services syllabus but also I read online that majority of the posting are in Mumbai atleast for 10-12 years early on in career (I lived in mumbai for a few years and absolutely hated it - the weather sucks - No offence, just a personal experience).

Then there is BPSC prelims in July (also I am from Bihar). Never really gave a serious attempt at BPSC but this year vacancies are good. But then BPSC takes nearly 1.5 - 2 years to finish the whole process. Also other than SDM, is it really worth it considering i might get a decent UPSC service (fyi - not that interested in police service)?

So, RBI - everything good except the posting. But then again it needs a separate prep. But UPSC and BPSC are more in line (and also I think I can improve my rank in UPSC if I put some effort in my optional - mathematics).

So dear learned people of UPSC sub, what should I do?
