Ans: HI Shamsh,
I understand the issues you're facing.

What are your goals? Are you interested in becoming a physician, or are you open to exploring other fields?

Before I share my thoughts, could you please provide me with the following information: your 10th-grade science marks, your 12th-grade PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) marks, your NEET score, and your mock test scores? This information will help me suggest the best options for you.

Additionally, please let me know your order of preference for the courses you are considering.

I am open to exploring other fields, but my family wants something related to health care My 10th-grade marks = 85% 12th pcb= 75 % My NEET 2025 score = 300approx And I am scoring in the range of 450 to 500 in the mock test The courses I am considering are mbbs bds btech biotech but I am okay with any course with a bright future and good income PLEASE GUIDE ME SIR I AM SO CONFUSED

Ans: Hi,
Based on your response, it seems you are losing 10% of your marks in the mock tests compared to your 10th-grade scores. I’m not sure which subject you are struggling with and losing marks in, but it’s crucial to identify that specific subject and focus on improving in it. As a dropper, you are already aware of your strengths and weaknesses. There are still a few months left, so try to take online mock tests regularly; this practice will help you achieve your goals. Additionally, your community can support you in reaching greater heights.

Aim for MBBS. Since you are interested in the health sector, you might also consider BDS or BAMS. If you wish to pursue a B.Tech in Biotechnology, you'll need to take the JEE exam. However, please note that the current scope for biotechnology is not as promising. So, your options can be MBBS, BDS, or BAMS.
