Bad results as in got honours? If no honours then can forget about postgrad studies since the better unis won't accept you. Can still get a job in stat board / ministries but starting salary will be lower than someone with 1st Hons. Personally I think you can look for a job in MNC where once you get in its all about performance. After 6months on the job no one will remember / care how you did in uni. Or look for a commission based job, like insurance / property / car salesman where gift of gab more important than paper qualifications.

Apply for some third-rate PhD programmes then after that just use the initials PhD. after your name. Nobody will know about your past.
