This is my 12th Marksheet which I received from my school after I passed. This is the only document they gave me. Is this enough for DV or do I need the passing certificate too?

If anyone has any info on this please help, as requesting a passing certificate from cbse would take a month at least.

I have a gap of 2.5-3 years. Can anyone who's been on both sides of the spectrum help me out a little? I have converted IIM U and got selected at ASO in CGL 2025. Very confused atm as iim udaipur is also pretty good. Or should I only consider a tier-1 mba over this CGL job?

Could be a long one (no AI used), please give it read.

Profile: 9/9/8 GEM T1 NIT, CAT 98.21%, 1 year workex, 3 year gap

(Skippable)

I am at the major crossroad which could decide the trajectory of my life. I have a gap of 2.5-3 years. Spent an year after getting laid off dealing with the collective burnout of school, college and an year of working at a startup. Probably had some mental health issues as well. Tried to get a job but applied half heartedly. Prepared for CAT in 2024 but panicked in DILR, overattempted in Quant and could only score 86 percentile. Again tried to get a job after CAT but the scenario in IT had completely changed by 2025 and even getting a callback was rare. A friend convinced me to prep for government exams and I gave all sorts of them, ibps, sbi PO, SO and finally CGL.

This month the result of CGL came I got ASO which is a lvl 7 central government position with permanant posting in Delhi. Pay will be about 80k a month.

I have a STUTTER and despite a lot of it in the IIMU interview I managed to clear it. The interview lasted for 30 mins and was a holistic one, covering everything from acads, interests, work ex and hr questions. My answers were correct but I fumbled a lot (which usually happens with me in interviews). I believe I brute forced my way because of my profile and domain knowledge. Or the interviewers wanted to give me a shot.

I am grateful for both the opportunities after a tough few years. But now I can't decide which one to pick. I had given up on all B-schools (after getting straight rejects from all the T2 private ones) and was satisfied that I would join that govt job but this covert has thrown me in a pickle. I need to work on my stutter, communication and overall personality and idk if that would happen in a Bschool or it would become this constant struggle of survival, anxiety and complex due to my gap in fluent comms.

My thoughts: There are pros and cons of both the choices. The govt job would have me move out of the house and would give me chance to improve where I lack but an IIM is an IIM. I'm thinking of doing this govt job for 1-2 year, work on myself and then if I'm not satisfied try again for BLACKISM as a lot of folks have told me to aim for that given my profile. But I know that CAT is unpredictable as hell. But so is CGL. I also read a post stating only to leave a central govt job for top 10 bschools.

Let me know what's your take on this, along with the resons. Thanks for reading.
