Thankfully the break between two sessions of mains exam are limited 

Had a weird scary dream 🥴

 After having done first session of exam  ,I have gone to my room to have lunch and then accidentally slept till 3:00pm , regretting it and somehow surviving with that guilt 

Anxiety 🤯 after checking results TG  must have messed up with college memories of quitting final term exams after having required mark in first two terms exams

@zombieland worst came after selection. Filled wrong service preferences after top 5 services. Got recommended. Celebration and social media hype and all locally. Ultimately, didn't join the allotted service (IIS) and now answering everyone why I didn't join after clearing "IAS exam" and why I'm still here (state Group B). Own decision to not join and stay back here considering lot of factors. Happy about it. 
However, hate myself for not thinking much while filling up preferences. 

Yes.. can totally understand you

Similar issue here.

Didn't care much about service preference while filling daf barring first five.

Allocated IPTAFS.. could have gotten IPoS or DANICS or ICLS ..

Currently,  in a decent pvt job(in electronics field), which seems perfect comfort zone.

A tough call i have to take . I don't have any attempts  after the current one .And I don't know if I can spend my rest of my life  in that service.

There was a time when i was desperate to get any service so that i can bank on it to continue preperation. But this came quiet late in the day.

Yeah sure women were discriminated 200 years ago and there's animal sacrifice sans any torture, clearly everything Muslims do in the name of Islam is justified now. That was a clinching argument. You've won. You're the intellectual we need.

I've lived through their bigotry and I actually pay a psychiatrist a lot of money, they'll have to live through mine.

Good way to set aside facts,  label it as bigotry.

Letting IPoS go will be one of the "three mistakes of life" moment. You get a powerful position as region head too early in career with accomodation, car etc.along with some financial powers (very rare early in career for central service). They have well established infrastructure too. And deputation is easy.

Wat was the issue wrt preferences?

Filled up IIS at top so got allotted. Baad mein pata chala it is a candidate of 18th-19th preference order. Spoke to some serving officers who were not happy too.

So, definitely not IIS. And Audit, defence estate, postal before this. 

IIS is considered a bad service. No proper promotions, no powerful posts. BTW, don't agree with putting Defence Estates service on top. It's a poor service. You may get a nice house in the beginning (and may be a car too), but that's about it. Promotions are bad and you don't wield any power. I myself had put it on sixth place, after seeing someone's blog post, but luckily didn't get it.
