Seniors guide me on this
I'm currently pursuing a B.Tech. One thing I've realized is that from childhood until now, I've never genuinely enjoyed studying. I've always forced myself to study because it was necessary, not because I liked it.
I can study when required, but long study hours drain me, and I don't naturally feel motivated to sit with books for extended periods.
Given this, would it be a bad idea for me to prepare for highly demanding competitive exams like UPSC CSE or ESE (IES)? Has anyone with a similar mindset successfully cleared these exams?
I'm trying to figure out whether my dislike of studying is just a habit I need to overcome or a sign that I should consider a different career path.
