i gave neet for the second time in 2022 but unfortunately couldnt get a mbbs govt seat so decided to pursue bds and prepare for neet 2023 simultaneously but due to less time and lack of preparation i didnt appear in 2023 now im preparing for neet 2024 along with bds and wish to give my third and final attempt but sometimes the thought of starting mbbs at 20-21 freaks me specially when people of my age are almost about to graduate, do you think i should go for it practically?

Ans: Sir,
if your daughter has cleared NEET in her 4th attempt and has good marks then you should appreciate her perseverance if she is eligible for admission to any esteemed govt. or govt aided institution then I would suggest letting her pursue MBBS. If not then she can continue with her B.Sc. and Post Grad course.

Being a doctor is a matter of pride. This is my personal view, and ultimately it all depends on your daughter and you. It will be your call.

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.

Ans: Hi
At a 556 score, you can't get a seat in the Govt College. But, if you are financially sound, then it is possible to get a seat in PVT medical college or you can think of completing MBBS abroad. If you like BDS, then and then go for that, else think of this choice twice. Repeating NEET once again is a risky factor and again it is not sure that you may get around 650 for a sure-shot seat in Govt College. Before repeating, think twice.
You also said that you have not found any passion yet. Then why you are trying for MBBS without any reason? First, check your interest either in Engineering or medicine or in any other sector.

Advice: Do not repeat, opt for BDS if you are getting a Govt Seat or try MBBS from any pvt medical college from India or abroad.

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

Ans: ELIGIBILITY RELATED TO AGE:
Eligibility for appearing in NEET (UG), as per related Regulations of NMC
and DCI are as follows:-
5.1.1. He/she has completed 17 years of age at the time of admission or will
complete that age on or before 31 December of the year of his/her
admission to the first year of the Undergraduate Medical Course.
Accordingly, the lower age limit shall be as under:
For Candidates of General (UR)/General-EWS born on or
before
31.12.2008
For Candidates of SC/ST/OBCNCL/
PwBD/PwD Category
5.1.2. Upper age limit: As per Letter No. U-11022/2/2022-UGMEB,
dated 09 March 2022 received from National Medical
Commission (NMC), Under Graduate Medical Education Board
(UGMEB) regarding the upper age limit, there is no upper age
limit.

ELIGIBILITY RELATED TO COURSE:
CODE: 06
B.Sc. Examination of an Indian University provided that
he/she has passed the B.Sc. Examination with not less than
two of the subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany,
Zoology)/Biotechnology and further that he/ she has passed
the earlier qualifying examination with Physics, Chemistry,
Biology, and English.

KINDLY NOTE: Based on the facts and guidelines surrounding NEET, I would like to offer the following comments.
There is no need to worry about the age limit because the NTA is not concerned about your upper age limit. However, your educational qualifications must match the requirements. You fall under the Code 6 category.

If you have completed your undergraduate degree in Science (which you didn’t mention, but I’m predicting), consider whether stating your BSc is worthwhile. Ultimately, your eligibility depends on matching your Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) qualifications. If your HSC does not align with the requirements, you will not be eligible to appear for NEET. If you are eligible based on your HSC, then focus on your HSC score rather than Code 6.

Wishing you the best of luck!
