⚡ TL;DR
Plan B activates automatically — and it's better than the WhatsApp panic suggests. Highest-overlap options: State PCS (70-80% syllabus match), RBI Grade B, public-sector banks, policy think tanks, EdTech. 3-5 years of UPSC prep is recognised, hireable currency in 2026. Don't waste 90 days grieving — pivot the same week the result is published.
