POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

Ans: HI
Simply taking a drop year for NEET will not provide a solution without proper preparation. Many young people are choosing courses, colleges, or coaching centers based on their friends' influences. After your first attempt, you may have analyzed NEET better the second time. If you are still facing the same issues on your third attempt, it suggests there's a deeper problem. It seems you're preparing for NEET without genuine interest.

To succeed in competitive exams, specific strategies are required. For instance, if you analyze previous exam patterns, you’ll often find that most answers tend to be either B or C. You'll notice that among four options, two answers are relevant while the other two are completely irrelevant. It’s crucial to analyze the syllabus and past question papers thoroughly. Everyone seeks answers, but few consider the reasoning behind them.

Additionally, I noticed you’ve enrolled in a B.Sc. degree; I'm unsure which major you have chosen. If you selected either chemistry or physics, it would be beneficial. By choosing chemistry as your major, you could take physics as an ancillary subject, and vice versa. You can cover both subjects during your college education, and if you have any doubts, you can clarify them with your professors. Completing biology studies at home is also advisable.

Whenever you plan to take competitive exams, dedicate your time solely to that without engaging in college activities. Avoid distractions at all costs. Recently, many parents have been facing these types of challenges with their children, and it takes time to adapt.

Finally, please listen to your parents' advice and minimize distractions. I have shared a few tips; please follow them.
BEST WISHES.

Ans: Hello dear

Our strong suggestion: Reconsider the idea of taking a drop and appearing NEET in 2026.

Yet, a few words to motivate you are as follows -
It's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed after a tough first attempt, especially when MBBS is your only dream. Scoring 258 and ranking around 5 lakh doesn't define your future. It just means your strategy or situation needs adjustment. Many NEET droppers go from low scores to top ranks with focused preparation, structured routines, and mental clarity. First, take a deep breath and acknowledge that one attempt doesn't define your capability. Reflect on what went wrong? Was it a lack of revision, test anxiety, health, or inconsistency? Build a practical daily schedule that balances study with rest, and prioritize your mental and physical well-being. For now, focus only on the next 2–3 chapters or weekly goals, not the entire syllabus or results. Consider joining a reliable dropper program (offline or online) with structured tests and mentorship. Stay connected with positive peers or mentors and talk to someone if it feels too heavy. Counseling helps. Your determination is clear, and with the right guidance and steady effort, a comeback is possible. You're not alone, and this phase can be your turning point.

Good luck.
