Is taking 5th drop for neet worth it ?

Ans: HI MUKHERJEE,
Regarding the 5th drop: Yes, you can. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s your life, and you will be the one deciding your path. However, before you decide to take a 5th drop, you need to consider the following:

1. Are you planning to take another drop after this, or not?
2. What will you do if you do not succeed on the 5th attempt? Have you planned for this?
3. Are you taking coaching or not? If yes, have you discussed this with your trainer or coach?

The most important question is: Why were you not successful in the past 4 attempts? It's essential to analyze where you are lagging now. It can be easier to identify and overcome your challenges.

Finally, if you don’t mind sharing, could you provide your scores (from 12 STD, all NEET scores subject-wise)?

BEST WISHES.

Ans: Dear Priyanka,

Thank you for being so honest about everything!

Do you like CA and CS first of all? This is the first question you have to ask yourself!

The next question I want to you ask yourself is, ‘am I scoring less marks because I have not studied / lack of interest or lack of understanding of concepts?’ Seek help if you really want to clear these exams!

Next question is ask yourself , “what comes naturally to me and I love doing it?”. It can be anything…. cooking, baking, teaching, accounting, handling customers in your dad’s office, taking care of office administration, etc, list out everything and then home down to one thing and start working on it with honesty of purpose, let that become your way to earning money!

And please sit and have a heart to heart chat with your parents!
If verbal communication is a problem, write a letter to them… I am giving you options, choose what is comfortable to you , but talk to your parents!

All the very best…
