SSC CGL vs MBA?

Advice/Guidance

(sorry if this has been asked before)

hello everyone, im 20f, final year B.Tech ECE, graduating 2027. Torn between SSC-CGL (Group B) and prepping for CAT/MBA as a fresher.

not really inclined towards either(both have similar syllabus) but since both exams are about a year out, and i have a year left of college too. only thing im sure of: i dont want a gap year after graduating.

some pros and cons for me-

MBA:

pros: higher education, better salary, a second chance at a better college (currently in a tier3).

cons: coaching + MBA fees , stressful corporate job(?)

SSC-CGL:

pros: govt job, stability, more peaceful , maybe prepare for upsc

cons: monotonous job, only bachelors maybe not sufficient in today's time.

what would be the wiser choice ?
