Hello, Sir . I am 26 year old now. I have completed my masters in nutrition and dietetics. I am working as a dietitian now. I am from pure science background with physics, chem, bio and maths. 8 years back i had given neet without preparation and couldnt give drop due to lack of support and motivation of family. But i always wanted to pursue medical and become doctor. So now can i again start to prepare for neet 2027 to become a doctor. Will it be good decision. I know its late now but thats what i always wanted. Could you tell me is it too late for medical. As it takes 8 to 10 yrs to become a proper specialist medico

Ans: Dear Anne,
I am on of the opinion that one must DREAM BIG and there is no age limit to do this as much as there is no age as to when to start or stop studying and learning.
So despite all the opposition that you might face, if you strongly want to be a doctor and you have the necessary skills and aptitude for it besides financial support, then GO FOR IT!
Also, do understand that opposition comes from the society's conditioned way of thinking which states that NEET must be taken immediately after Class 12 (Age 18-19). There are many others who go beyond this age and still come out brilliantly...So, DREAM and LIVE IT!

All the nest!

Ans: Hello Raghu
It's never too late but I think you won't be able to give justice to both. Take a wise call, discuss with your parents and decide a goal and work for it & excel in it.

Ans: Hi,
Thank you for your intriguing inquiry.
Your situation is similar to that of others who feel uncertain about their next steps.
It seems you have become confused about whether to continue in the field of education. That’s why, while preparing for government exams, you started pursuing digital marketing simultaneously. This may have hindered your ability to achieve your goals, and the course you completed might not have yielded the expected results.

Before pursuing any course, consider the following points:

1. Will the course provide valuable knowledge for your life and career?
2. Does the course align with your core subjects?

The answers to these questions are crucial:
- The course should offer practical skills, not just theoretical concepts.
- It should complement your core subjects to enhance your employability.
Be cautious of jobs that merely act as placeholders. Institutions often use impressive language to attract students, but it can be challenging to find suitable positions after completing these programs.

Regarding your inquiry about choosing between marriage and education, you do have options. You could take the NEET exam for MBBS. Is it feasible for you to attempt the upcoming exam? If so, consider preparing for a year to improve your chances. If you choose this route, you could complete your medical degree by 2031.

Alternatively, you might consider pursuing a BSc in Nursing, which aligns with your desire to heal and help others. This degree can be completed in three years, and there is a high demand for nurses, meaning job opportunities will be available soon after graduation. By 2029, you could finish the course, and if you wish, you can pursue a postgraduate degree afterward or start working in a hospital with your undergraduate qualification.

However, if you prefer medicine, you'll need to pursue a postgraduate qualification to advance your career. Since you've felt a bit lost, consider exploring other courses like Nursing, Naturopathy, or Ayurvedic studies.

If you are interested in fields related to medicine or health, an academic gap will not raise questions. The trend has shifted in recent years; many students aiming for medicine or technology at national institutions often take a year or two off to prepare for competitive exams. This should not pose a problem for you in the near future either.

So accordingly.
Best Wishes.

Ans: You’re not late. You’re someone who kept searching for the right path, and your heart has consistently pointed toward healing. NEET in 2 months is tough unless your basics are already strong, so treat this attempt as a trial and prepare seriously for next year if medicine truly feels like your calling. Also, remember, MBBS isn’t the only way into healthcare. BAMS, Veterinary, Clinical Research, or Public Health can still put you in roles that help people or animals in meaningful ways. Age and marriage aren’t barriers; the right partner respects ambition, and careers in healthcare often start later. Gap years can be seen as opportunities for exploration and skill-building. The real question is your stamina and commitment. If you’re ready for the long journey, you absolutely still can build a life in this field.

Case Study- Jay Kishore Pradhan, a 64-year-old retired State Bank of India (SBI) deputy manager from Odisha, successfully cleared the NEET-UG exam in 2020 to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. Inspired by his twin daughters' preparations, he enrolled in online coaching to study MBBS at VIMSAR.

You are still so small compared to Mr Jay Kishore. If you have passion, you can achieve it.

Best of luck with your upcoming bright future.


Good luck.
