Sir my first attempt along with 12 standard 398 marks,first drop 485 second drop 540 should I go for govt bds or try once again to get govt mbbs seat or go through self financing mbbs

Ans: Hi,
seeing the cutoff govt seat is difficult if you are in the open category. If you are sure of getting 650 plus then only go for repeat. If you can manage the finances then private institutions can be a good choice. You can try other states too where pvt college fees is less.

I want to do mbbs.But I failed this year.Should I join bds and continue with that(acc to my parents)?or take partial drop with bsc in a central university and try to crack neet next year for mbbs(I want to do this)..but I'm very sceptical I don't want to make any wrong decision now..
Ans: You are very much interested in pursuing an MBBS. You have not mentioned the Score / AIR you got in NEET.

You have asked whether you should join BDS as if you have got confirmed admission to BDS, I assume.

You are also doing a BSc from a Central University.

OPTIONS FOR YOU:

1) You are interested only in MBBS and NOT in BDS. Only because your parents wish you to join BDS, it is not suggested. Ultimately your satisfaction as a ‘Dentist’ is important. If you feel, you can join BDS, go ahead. Else, NO.

2) Whether you should attempt NEET next year again depends upon what Score / AIR / Marks you got last time. If you scored with a very LOW difference in marks to get an MBBS seat, you can try to attempt NEET again next year.

3) However, it is NOT at all advisable to drop your BSc from the Central University. As you had already prepared for NEET last year, you can fine-tune your preparation strategies for NEET and, at the same time, continue your BSc. Work smart for NEET, rather than hard. Pursuing MBBS is not much easy which also you have to keep in mind. If you are confident and passionate about MBBS, prepare well for NEET to get admission into any one of the reputed Medical College.

Hope I have clarified your doubts.

If you need any other clarifications or have questions for anyone, post your questions (in detail) to me and/or follow me for more useful information on ‘Careers / Education / Jobs’.

All The BEST for your Bright Future.

I appeared in neet 2025 .My 10th marks is 87% and 12 th marks is 94% . My score in 1st attempt without any preparation was 322 out of 720, it was quite low because I thought neet has level like board but I understood reality after 1st attempt. Last year I took a drop and my score was 453. My catagory is SC . Last year I alloted India's number 1 medical college NIH kolkata for BHMS but I did not took it . I did another drop for MBBS but this year whole scenario changed we all know that how shockingly NTA gave hardest paper in NEET history. NTA changed exam pattern suddenly. My mock test score was 560-580 in allen and akash dlp test I was too confident that I definitely selected in a govt medical mbbs seat in state counseling of west bengal. But suddenly my score decreased to 352. Though most of the students are score 100 to 150 low than their mock test so everyone is scoring low . It was my 2nd drop year. I gave my full strength but accidentally it happened. Now some coaching predicated I will got a govt mbbs seat this year. Some are predicted BDS seat and if don't get chance in MBBS or BDS surely I will got a chance in India's no 1 BHMS college NIH kolkata. I am from very lower than middle class family. My father said that he will not continue my study and family after 5 years because he is getting old. So I might be earing person of our family after 5- 6 years. So should I choose BHMS. will it worth it?
Ans: Hi,
The NTA has not yet declared the results and ranks for NEET. However, based on your predictions, admission into medicine seems unlikely, but pursuing a BHMS degree in private colleges may be possible. For better insights, you can wait for the results to gain more clarity.

Since the pandemic, many people have been turning to the Indian system of medicine. Additionally, homeopathy has remained a popular choice since its inception. So, there’s no need to worry. Just move forward with your plans.
BEST WISHES.
