@dancingminiontake a job. I recently got a bank po job. You can try banking/insurance/SSC jobs or try in private sector if possible.

UPSC is strange. When I was most worried regarding my gs3 answer quality, I got highest in gs3 among my GS paper scores. GS1 went decent and yet marks didn't reflect it.
