Ans: Hello Raghu
It's never too late but I think you won't be able to give justice to both. Take a wise call, discuss with your parents and decide a goal and work for it & excel in it.

Hello I am a 26 year old female I have scored 83 in 10th 77 in 12th and then during the same time I gave neet with boards so i couldnt score well at that point. I allways wanted to be a doctor and loved biology so that was the reason behind me taking science. Then I took bsc in microbiology never loved the subject....kinda only liked medical part of it and food microbiology a bit...scored 9.41 cgpa but things took a turn Post COVID my family shifted to a new place i was confused about what next since I didn't wanted to continue with micro...new city and all....family issues and stuff were there. I gave in 4 years to govt exam prep did few courses in digital marketing side by side and also some pg certificate courses to stay in touch with the field....just in case i decide to go for msc in food tech or pg diploma in data management or msc in clinical research. But I allways felt or had this regret of not getting into medical field and I feel like I belong there.....i want to heal and help people or animals (bams or vet was my choice if now mbbs ) So at this point would u suggest me to give neet a shot with 2 months left ? Or if not neet what would u suggest ? My parents are supportive but I have this age this in mind like will a guy marry a women who is like 28 or 29 and is in her 4th year of med school and would start earning by 30 or so....and then maybe at some point get into pg . And will I be questioned on my gap years when I would like apply at hospitals ? 3 years were because of bsc but rest were due to govt exam thing so.
Ans: You’re not late. You’re someone who kept searching for the right path, and your heart has consistently pointed toward healing. NEET in 2 months is tough unless your basics are already strong, so treat this attempt as a trial and prepare seriously for next year if medicine truly feels like your calling. Also, remember, MBBS isn’t the only way into healthcare. BAMS, Veterinary, Clinical Research, or Public Health can still put you in roles that help people or animals in meaningful ways. Age and marriage aren’t barriers; the right partner respects ambition, and careers in healthcare often start later. Gap years can be seen as opportunities for exploration and skill-building. The real question is your stamina and commitment. If you’re ready for the long journey, you absolutely still can build a life in this field.

Case Study- Jay Kishore Pradhan, a 64-year-old retired State Bank of India (SBI) deputy manager from Odisha, successfully cleared the NEET-UG exam in 2020 to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. Inspired by his twin daughters' preparations, he enrolled in online coaching to study MBBS at VIMSAR.

You are still so small compared to Mr Jay Kishore. If you have passion, you can achieve it.

Best of luck with your upcoming bright future.


Good luck.
