Hello aspirant !!

I am hoping that you are absolutely fine and doing well. As per your mentioned query , I would like to tell you that if you really want to go in defence then you should only focus on your preparation. If you are that much confident that you can crack the exam then you donot have to go for master's degree or a job. Because if you opt a job then you are entirely busy whole day and you have only less time to prepare for the defence exam. And defence exam is not a joke it requires lot of hard work and dedication to crack it. But somehow if you feel that you can manage your time and give your best then go for a job or master's degree. Or if you feel that if you will not crack the exam then for a second option you already have a job so you it is upto you.

If you can manage your time with your masters degree and job along with preparation then go for it. Otherwise do prepare well and hard so you can crack the exam in first attempt.

I hope this will be helpful for you.

Revert back for further queries.

Good wishes
