iii). Try your luck for armed forces, you can pursue your engineering from there as well (EME/Engineer Corps/Signals etc) and thereafter you can try your luck for becoming a CSP.

iv). God forbade if you are unable to become a CSP or an Armed Forces Officer, then there is no need to worry for anything because there is only a less portion of people who can become CSPs and Armed Forces Officers, and remaining major portion of our population also lives happily. And also keep a fact in mind that both CSPs and Armed Forces Officers have played greater role in destruction of our country.
