Hello sir, I am preparing for neet and I took my 1st drop this year and I am thinking of changing my stream as in medical it requires minimum 9-12 years to become fully independent and I want to become independent as soon as possible but at the same time I am thinking like will it be a good decision or not bcz deep down medical field attracts me towards it, so right now I am literally confused.

Ans: Hello,
Navigating career decisions can be challenging, especially when balancing personal interests and the desire for independence. It's commendable that you're considering both aspects. Indeed, the medical field is a noble and rewarding path, but it does require a significant time commitment to education and training. If becoming independent sooner is your top priority, you might explore alternative paths that align with your interests and offer quicker entry into the workforce. Consider the various roles within healthcare, such as CMSED, medical technology, health administration, or allied health professions, which may require less time in education than becoming a fully licensed medical practitioner.

On the other hand, if the allure of the medical field is strong and you find fulfilment in the prospect of contributing directly to healthcare, pursuing your passion might lead to a more satisfying and purposeful career in the long run. It's essential to weigh your priorities, consider the time and effort required for each path, and reflect on what truly resonates with your aspirations.

Seeking guidance from mentors, career counsellors, or medical and alternative healthcare professionals can provide valuable insights, which is why College Vidya is here. Still, ultimately, the decision should align with your goals, values, and vision for your future.

Sir I am feeling very uncertain about my career, i am very much interested in medical field, i gave my HS in 2024, this is my 1st drop for neet, i tried a lot but due to family issues and negativity i couldnot do well, neet is jst after 5days , but my syllabus not yet done, mock test are not good, but still i want to pursue medical field ans study in a government medical college, i know where my preparation was lagging{my class 11 12 were weak, those who taught me they all jst told m,e "u cant do anything " and leave and never used to teach properly but i did everything by my own , and then took drop but i how to prepare in a coaching class i didnt know all network isuues for almost 6months ,but i keep on doing and now i am standing in a uncertain phase where i still want to become a doctor, i dont have anproblem in studying those again but the problem is what others will say , its like a fear, as even though my parents enrolled in a coaching online previous year but they also sometimes used to say that i should have also enrolled i a college, its a fear, so my question is this path really for me? should i take a partial drop and go for neet 2026 too, {dob: 14/10/2005}.....i feel like hopeless , but still want to follow my dreams, is this possible?
Ans: Hi,

Before I address your query, please avoid mentioning your date of birth on social media; it's not necessary at this point. However, I noticed that some other details are missing.

In addition to the educational concerns, it seems like you may have a bit of a psychological issue in that you tend to worry excessively about others. This mentality is quite common in our country. Prior to the NEET exam, entry into the medical field, specifically for MBBS and BDS, was mainly reserved for aspirants with high marks. Additionally, those with significant wealth could gain admission through management quotas or at times via NRI quotas. However, the situation has changed completely after the introduction of NEET.

As you know, the major advantage of NEET is that the marks aspirants score in their HSC examinations are now less relevant. Candidates from any part of the country, of any category or state, and even those taking the exam for a second time can attempt NEET, regardless of their HSC performance. If aspirants have talent, they can succeed in NEET, which provides a standardized syllabus across the nation. So, even if you are currently struggling with your HSC studies, you can still perform well on the NEET.

Apart from percentile scores, various factors will influence admission, including community status, creamy or non-creamy layer, physical challenges, and more.

Therefore, NEET is the best solution for aspirants, and you can take the exam as many times as you need.

There are no barriers to preparing for the exam, so please go ahead.

You mentioned that you feel weak in the subject and have difficulty concentrating. I suggest starting yoga and meditation. By practicing these, you'll be able to relieve stress and work towards achieving your goals.

Regarding your desire to enter the medical field (I believe you want to become a doctor), is that correct?

If so, in addition to MBBS, there are other medical courses known as Indian Medicine, including BAMS, BHMS, BSMS, and BNYS. If you find MBBS challenging, consider focusing on these options as well. Many people have started to embrace Indian medicine after the COVID pandemic, so it’s not a problem at all.

Prepare for NEET 2025, analyze your situation, and send your details to the Rediffguru. We can discuss this further.

Wishing you all the best!
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO.

Hello sir .. which college is best between KJ SOMAIYA Vidhya vihar and NMIMS main campus for Engineering in Btech in CSE.plz advice us.
Ans: KJ Somaiya Vidyavihar (KJSCE) and NMIMS Mumbai Main Campus both offer strong BTech CSE programs with robust placement support, industry connections, and modern infrastructure. KJSCE is NBA-accredited, has academic autonomy, and consistently achieves 95–100% placement rates, with a median package of ?7.6–8 lakh and top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Infosys, and Deloitte. The curriculum is industry-oriented, and the faculty is highly rated by students for teaching quality and mentorship. NMIMS Mumbai’s BTech CSE is NAAC ‘A’ grade accredited, offers specializations in AI, Data Science, and Cybersecurity, and provides excellent industry exposure through internships and projects, with a high placement rate and top recruiters such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and TCS. NMIMS emphasizes practical and interdisciplinary learning, but its program is newer than KJSCE’s and has a higher fee structure. Student reviews rate both colleges similarly for placements, faculty, and campus life, but KJSCE has a longer legacy and slightly better return on investment. The recommendation is to prefer KJ Somaiya Vidyavihar (KJSCE) for BTech CSE due to its established academic reputation, consistently high placement rates, experienced faculty, and value for money, unless you have a strong preference for NMIMS’s specialized curriculum or brand. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got admitted to 1st PUC under PCMB but I feel the subjects are tough and I dont like calculations in physics. Planning to shift to commerce but worried if BCom will pay good. Is it a good idea to chooae commerce and then later pursue BCA or LLB. What do you suggest. I want to pursue something that pays well.
Ans: Switching from PCMB to commerce is a practical option if you find physics calculations challenging and lack interest in science, as commerce offers a wide array of career paths with good earning potential. BCom opens doors to fields like finance, accounting, management, banking, and government jobs, with entry-level salaries ranging from ?3–6 lakh and much higher with professional qualifications (CA, CMA, CS, MBA, CFA) or government exams. BCom graduates can also pursue LLB, which leads to roles such as corporate lawyer, legal manager, or advisor, with average salaries of ?4–8 lakh and scope in both private and public sectors. If you are interested in technology, BCA is accessible after commerce and offers strong IT placements, with roles in software development, data analysis, and web design, and average starting salaries of ?3–6 lakh, rising with experience or after MCA. Commerce is generally considered less difficult than science, with moderate math, and is suitable for those interested in business, finance, or law.

The recommendation is to shift to commerce if science subjects do not interest you, as BCom, BCA, or LLB all offer good earning potential and diverse career options, especially when combined with further specialization or professional courses. Choose based on your interests—finance, tech, or law—for long-term satisfaction and success. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
