I gave my fist attempt with class 12th , so should I go to Abroad for MBBS or take 1 drop year for second attempt?

Ans: HI PARI,
I suggest considering studying medicine in India instead of going abroad. The reason is NEET. Because of NEET, you have options. If you wish to pursue medicine in foreign countries, you need to appear for NEET and meet the eligibility criteria. Although the basic medical education is the same, the medical council insists on completing the licensure exam in India. Nowadays, even Indian medical students need to meet these eligibility criteria. If you want to pursue medical education in foreign countries, you need to go through agents, which can lead to a lot of issues. It's better to complete the basic medical course in India and pursue your postgraduate studies abroad.

Now that you are familiar with NEET from your first attempt, don't worry about the past. Prepare confidently for your second attempt and appear for NEET with strong preparation.
ALL THE BEST.

thank you , my first attempt score was 268 , how should i improve it ?
Ans: Hi Pari,

Congratulations on deciding to take the NEET exam! Now that you've appeared for it, you'll gain a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.

To improve your score, first identify the subjects where you struggle the most and focus on them before turning your attention to your stronger subjects. It's also important to grasp the basics in all areas, as this will help you answer questions more easily and quickly.

Additionally, consider looking for videos on social platforms that offer tips and tricks for exam preparation.

Plan your study schedule according to what works best for you, so you can excel in your upcoming exams.

All the best!

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.
