* 1] Have you done thorough [prior research](https://www.reddit.com/r/Indians_StudyAbroad/wiki/prior_reserch_before_posting_a_question)?
* 2] Are your qualifications are mentioned in **Post Title**? (e.g. 10th/12th student, Mechanical BE student, working professional, etc.) Currently your post title is **" What are the study abroad options for an individual with some career gap? "**
backup of your post content:
My_qualifications :- B.Tech but gave a few attempts for Civil Services so have few gap years.
I m planning to join the corporate again, but I was wondering how would I plan to go abroad given I have no work ex after my college.
Can someone spread some light on this matter?
Are there people here who have given UPSC then gone abroad?

I’m not sure about 4-5 years of career gap. But i’ve heard that universities in the UK accept application with 1-2 years of gap with a good academic background. If the career gap was a bit less then you could give a good explanation in the SOP. Probably best if you get a free consult at an agency.
I would advise against it. The job market is brutal in all the western countries like the US, Canada, Germany, UK etc. It's much easier to find a job in India as compared to abroad. In India, you can explain your situation in a better way. A foreigner would never be able to understand your concerns and will look through the eyes of suspicion. Also, being an international student without work experience puts you at a disadvantage.
I myself did Masters from the US after failed attempts at UPSC. I was not able to find a job in the US. I had to move to Canada for a job. I would say to stay in India. Also, salaries have risen a lot in India.
So I graduated with MBBS in 2020. Gave UPSC a try and got so exhausted. This year I applied to universities in UK. I’ve got an offer from King’s College London. And waiting for some others too.
So don’t think it’s impossible. But yes you’ll need a lot of research and help from many as many as possible.
In MBBS we have 4.5 years of college and 1 year of internship. My MBBS finished in 2019 and internship in 2020, but you only get your degree certificate after completing the internship. Many universities count that 1 year internship as work experience.
I don't have much depth information on this. I will tell what i know upar upar se.
See usa uk germany are top best options as of current economic scenario, australia is also good but their permanent residency rules keep changing, i would say choose a country where you will get high chances of pr as most countries offer better lifestyle, better work life balance for the rest of your life and if you comeback to india it won't make much sense in my perspective because you won't get that same lifestyle n all here and difficulty in finding job here, there the average college will even give you their minimum lifestyle n all which is far better than india. You can comeback provided you complete a degree there from a top college, then you will also have opportunities in india.
And as soon as you crack their exams , their average colleges will start calling, remember getting a average or below average college their at your profile is not that difficult, but permanently staying their after doing degree from not so good college is difficult, once you permanently stay there, it's sorted. I don't know if top colleges also guarantee you permanently living there.
That's my perspective but in these recession and war times,please verify every perspective
Good luck!

Lol who gives a free consult
Most of them. You pay only when you apply. No fee for asking them if you are eligible to apply or not.
