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: Hello,
Your time & energy are limited if you can practically give justice to BDS & NEET prep then only for it. You cannot sail in 2 boats.

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.

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
