Competitive exams can be unpredictable, with factors such as exam difficulty, competition level, and external circumstances influencing outcomes.
Many competitive exams have a limited number of seats available, making it highly competitive and increasing the likelihood of not securing admission or a job despite diligent preparation.
Personal circumstances such as health issues, family responsibilities, or financial constraints can sometimes interfere with the preparation process or exam performance, necessitating a backup plan to mitigate potential setbacks.
Having a backup plan ensures that this time is not entirely wasted in the event of an unfavorable outcome.
Pursuing a backup plan allows aspirants to explore alternative educational or career opportunities that may align with their skills, interests, and aspirations.
While aspirants may have a primary goal of cracking a specific competitive exam, they may also have alternative career interests or goals that can be pursued through other means.
Knowing that there is a backup plan in place can alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with the uncertainty of competitive exams.
