Can I switch from NEET to Astrophysics after becoming a doctor?

Ans: Hello dear.
I am glad to hear that you are interested in astrophysics and research in the space field. You made the good decision to take PCMB subjects in the 12th standard. You are preparing for two exams, KCET and NEET, without taking the help of any coaching center. Why are thinking negatively that you can't do the best in 1st attempt at this stage? Without thinking much more about the future, just focus on your syllabus and upcoming exams for which you are preparing. I can assure you that with any score in KCET, you can get admission to an engineering college provided that you have a minimum of 50% marks in the board examination. Considering your anxiety, and fear it would be better to focus more on KCET as your target is astrophysics and space research which can be turned into your dream if you enter into the engineering field. It would be very difficult for you to come back into the field of astrophysics if you chose the medical field. Hence, focus on KCET, crack it with high percentile, get admission to a good and reputed engineering college, and work on your dream. Even if you are not admitted to engineering, you can choose the path of astrophysics via B.Sc. + M.Sc. and equivalent courses. Best of luck to your upcoming bright future.
