Hello I am sakshi from east UP and a neet aspirant. I just passed out 12th and I've already taken my first drop. I am ready to give my hundred percent in this year. But actually my parents are repeatedly telling me to do bsc degree from a tier 3 college just near my house. I'll Just need to give exams and attend practicals..BUT is this even beneficial in any way..? Will I get a decent job if I am not able to clear neet by chance..? My parents are arguing that atleast you'll have a degree.. But I wanted to any kind of degree (Like bsc biotech , microbiology ) from atleast a good college for better job options..but my parents don't want me to have a "Gap" year. I am not able to process what do I do in this situation.

Ans: Hello Sakshi
Tell your parents: “Give me this one last focused year. If I don’t make it, I’ll take admission to a proper B.Sc. next year in a good college and explore other paths with full energy. But let me try NEET once without distractions.

You've got this. Just don’t let fear-based decisions ruin your shot.

Hello I am Shyam, I had got 91% in CBSE boards and was planning to pursue a career in design the whole 11th and 12th, my parents too were ok with tht desicion. I had given uceed and nid where I lost both in nid I had lost by 4 marks. Now my parents are suggesting me to take btech as many people and relatives said design will be taken over and so having a secure btech degree is better. And I hadn't written any engineering exam like jee so my parents are considering a gap year for it . I have also applied for NFSU. I do want to pursue design but I don't think my parents find it secure at least for btech they are ok with it at masters. My dad especially is keen of iit and nit.
Ans: Shyam, If you are targeting any IIT / NIT with a drop for next year (as per your parents’ wish), please note some important factors (1) During the last 2-years or 1-Year (since you completed your 10th) had you joined any Coaching Centre for JEE? (2) If not, joining Coaching Centre this year (for your JEE next year), you will have to not only cover NCERT Books, but also have to thoroughly go through all the 11th & 12th PCM concepts explained in Coaching Centre Materials (3) You will have to also practice a lot of questions / attempt mock tests / prepare short notes etc. (4) You have to prepare a fool-proof strategies as you have less than 1-year (hardly 7-8 months for your 1st JEE Exam (5) Time Management within this short period plays a crucial role. Will you be able to? (6) And, if you are targeting top IITs / NITs for you / your parents’ preferred branches, your AIR should be good. If you are CONFIDENT over all these factors, you can try for JEE next year. No Issue. NOW Coming to your interest in Design. (1) Bachelor’s Degree in Design has a diverge range of career avenues such as, Your success in Design Career depends upon your self-motivation / dedication / upgrading your skills continuously even after you land into any job (2) As you have already prepared for NID Entrance Exams, you can easily attempt again for the same with a very good score and / or you can try for the same for any other reputed Private College if it conducts its own Entrance Test. I hope I have clarified your doubt. All The BEST for your Bright Future, Shyam.

Hi I was alloted EE in rru . I am very confused about whether I should take the seat or not beacause they are calling for in person documents verification how is the hostel? Placements? Mess? Campus life ? Etc and I live in assam and wanted to know if its worth it Please guys reply as it is urgent since they are calling for admission within these 7 days
Ans: Hi Mega,
Please understand that based solely on your application, they have requested you to bring all your testimonials. Before applying, you should have asked the questions you mentioned. If you are not interested, someone else will benefit; if you are interested, please allow room for others.

If a stranger gives a wrong review, how will you handle that? Every person's experience is different. What is your goal—are you trying to match the course or not?

**Hostel:** Construct a house there, and then you can join the course.
**Mess:** Consider taking your mom with you so you won’t face any issues (though you might still eat unpleasant food outside).
**Placement:** Without learning the essential skills, you will not get a job. Instead, someone else may appear more qualified and secure the position.

You haven’t shared much about yourself. Are you a disciplined student? Do you have any bad habits? Do you actively participate in sports? How many hours do you spend on your education? How many hours do you spend on social media?

If the answers are not favorable, then follow this simple routine: Eat, sleep, and repeat. Enjoy life. That’s a nice solution I have provided.
