My child will be appearing for NEET UG 2025 for the fourth time. Each time his performance has been abysmal, which, I know, is going to be repeated this year too. We have already asked him to move ahead but he is adamant on appearing in NEET which is beyond his calibre. He doesn't have any idea what to do next, has never thought of a Plan B,C or D. Kindly guide as to how plan a career ahead for him. Is there any sort of psychoanalysis to know what is the right study option for him and where to get it done. I can't afford crores of rupees in pvt. medical colleges/abroad .I can take professional assisstance . Kindly give me contact number/ email ID. Thanks.

Ans: Hi Sir,

Don't worry. First, it's important to counsel him.

The health sector is a promising field, which is why I believe your son is so determined to appear for the NEET exam, even though this will be his fourth attempt. It’s natural for him to feel a bit worried. I think he needs to reflect on why he hasn't been able to succeed so far. It's crucial for him to analyze where the problems lie. For example, if he's struggling with chemistry, he should focus more on that subject, as well as the others he finds challenging.

He has a lot of homework to do, including taking mock tests and learning effective strategies rather than just simple ideas.

I have one question: Has he enrolled in any study or coaching center for NEET preparation? If so, it would be beneficial to discuss ways to improve his performance.
If he has prepared himself, kindly approach the best coaching center near your area. For more information about us, you can contact the admin.

Dear Siir, My son is studying BMLT( Bachelor in Medical Laboratory Technology) of 31⁄2 years duration, (likely to be 4 years) and will complete his study in June'24. Then he will have to undergo mandatory internship in labs or hospitals where he is to be placed by the University. I would request you to show a suitable path to follow for him after the end of his present course. Should he go for further higher relevant study for future prospects or search for a job? He is now 26 years+(DOB- 07/10/1997). He attempted NEET after 12 in 2016 & every time he did qualify but couldn't bag up a general seat due to marks constraint. He did qualify in West Bengal JEE but showed no interest in Engineering career. He always likes to adhere to medical/ allied health service courses. I await your valuable expertise advice regarding my son.
Ans: Hello Sir,

Clinical Laboratory Technologist/Technician: This is the most common career path for MLT graduates. You could work in hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, or research facilities, performing tests on patient samples to assist physicians in diagnosing and treating diseases.

Research Assistant: MLT graduates can work as research assistants in laboratories, assisting scientists and researchers in conducting experiments, analyzing data, and contributing to scientific discoveries.

Public Health Officer: MLT graduates can work in public health departments or government agencies, contributing to disease surveillance, outbreak investigations, and health promotion programs aimed at improving community health.

Healthcare Information Specialist: With additional training in health informatics or medical coding, you could work as a healthcare information specialist, managing and analyzing patient data to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes.

Education and Training: If you enjoy teaching, you could pursue a career as a teacher or instructor in MLT programs, training future laboratory professionals.


Specialized Laboratory Technologist: MLT graduates can choose to specialize in areas such as microbiology, hematology, immunology, or molecular diagnostics, focusing on a specific area of laboratory testing.

My son is in grade 10th, he wants to prepare for neet but he went for counselling twice where he had given some test which gave him results to prefer engineering now he is confused if i will not be able to do fare in neet thn what should i opt for since hes planning to go for integrated? Ease help
Ans: Hello.
To which tests your son appeared is not mentioned by you. I am assuming that he may be based to appear for either an IQ test or a DMIT Test. I would like to say that there is no need to 100% trust these tests. The results of these tests depend on the mindset of a student at that time. These tests are never 100% correct. Hence there is no need to worry about the results of these tests and what the counselor has told you.
Here are some key points on which you can work:
(1) Please ask his school teachers about his subject understanding.
(2) Please take an overall review of maths and science subjects from an understanding point of view only.
(3) Have an open talk with your son about his interest either in mathematics or biology.
(4) If possible, try to make an interaction with senior students who are preparing for JEE or NEET.
(5) Even though the coaching is now focussing either on PCM or PCB groups, it is advisable to take all 4 subjects PCMB in the 11th standard.
(6) Take a trial for at least 2 initial months in 11th standard for maths and biology subjects.
(7) Your son will automatically tell his interest in either engineering or medicine.
(8) Don't force your willingness on him to prepare for NEET.
(9) Based on the final decision, you may think of integrated courses.
(10) Your's sons interest matters more. If he is firm to go for NEET, then motivate him and keep the results of counselor tests aside.
Best of luck to your son for his bright future.

If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.

My son has got 91 percentile in the recent jee exam , he has next attempt in april, but i feel its difficult for him , can i know about other good colleges in karnataka , as im based their. interested in computer science and aeronautical degree, also advise some recent good courses for his career in india.
Ans: Hello Manoj.
Do not get stressed at this stage. Even though his score is 91 percentile in 1st attempt, he can do well in 2nd attempt. But from the safer side, ask him to appear in the Karnataka State Engineering Entrance Examination also. Even if he scores less in JEE on 2nd attempt, he may good college via the state entrance examination in CSE or aeronautical engineering as per your wish. For your reference, there are 10 colleges in India where you can get admission without a JEE score. To know more details, please copy and paste the following link into your browser- https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/10-engineering-colleges-in-india-for-pursuing-btech-without-jee-main-2025-score/articleshow/118162587.cms.
There are no such courses to be called as recent. The choice of courses depends upon the interest of your son. Hence there is no need to hurry and get into panic at this stage. Let him appear for both exams first, Ask about his interests, and then choose the course accordingly. I would be happy to suggest you after knowing his scores in JEE+State entrance + his liking.
Till then, ask him to focus only on two engineering entrance exams. Best of luck to your son for upcoming exams.

If satisfied with the reply, please like and follow me, else ask again.
Thanks
