Abhilasha Question by Abhilasha on May 09, 2025
Career

I joined DU BSC LIFE SCIENCES IN 2023 .I SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED MY 1ST SEM BUT DUE TO NEET 2024 I STOPPED GOING I DIDN'T FILLED MY SEM-2 EXAMINATION FORM TOO.WHEN I WENT BACK THEY SAID U HAVE AN YEAR BACK SO REPEAT .I TOOK A RISK AND PREPARED FOR NEET 22025 BUT IT HAS GONE BAD .I HAVE TO JOIN MY COLLEGE ..WILL I GET DETAINED AS I HAVE NOT ATTENDED CLASSSES ? PLZ HELP ME SIR

Ans: Abhilasha, DU colleges generally require a minimum of 66% attendance in lectures, tutorials, and practicals to be eligible to appear for semester exams.

If you have not attended classes for the entire second semester and also did not fill the exam form, you likely have not met the attendance requirement.

The Principal has the authority to detain a student (i.e., not allow progression to the next semester) if attendance and academic performance requirements are not met.

Being absent for a whole semester and missing the exam form submission usually results in being marked as a year back or repeat year. This aligns with what your college informed you. You will likely have to repeat the second semester due to non-attendance and missing exam registration. This is standard university procedure and not unusual. You will not be “detained” in a punitive sense but will need to clear the backlog to continue your degree. Promptly contacting your college administration and complying with their instructions is essential. Take a quick decision without any further delay. All the Best.

Sir I have done partial drop for neet 2024, firstly I have joined in btech biotechnology and in 2nd sem I was unable to maintain attendance so I got detained but I know how dangerous thing I have done because in mock tests I scored well which gave me overconfidence but at main exam I was anxious and made mistakes in omr sheet and scored 360. So what to do? Can I take bba or btech biotechnology and I want to settle down and my father is worrying lot about my career . I am just at home without any work which pains me alot . What to do sir? I want to get rid off this depressed life and in future I will get jobs?
Ans: HI Yashwantha.
Partial drop, admission to BTech Bio-Technology, unable to maintain attendance, then detained, then performed well in Mock Tests (How! unknown), mistakes in OMR and scored 360 (In which subject, not mentioned). Now, you wish to go for BBA and settle down! Right now you are at home without any work!
Looking at this journey, it is obvious that your father is worried.
If you are not interested in Bio-Tech, why have you joined it?
It is better to focus on your interests and then choose a career. Choosing the course of interest will create interest in your life.
If you master your interest course, then there is no problem in getting a job or starting your own business.
Leave the depression, and focus on your interests. Learn it, master it, and get success. That is so simple.

If you are not satisfied with the reply, pl ask again without any hesitation.
If satisfied, pl follow me.

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on Apr 28, 2025

Career
Hello sir .I attempted neet 3times in 2022 I scored 605,then 585 in 2023 then I joined bsc Life science and again prepared scored 652 in 2024 but due to scam everything messed up I was not attending my bsc classes from sem-2 which gave me a back .clg told me to re enroll as ex student but I thought to give neet once again.Intially I didn't knew that the spark has left I was tired .Now I don't have confidence though I am studying but I don't have that spark I used to have .What should I do sir plz help me out . My mother told me to prepare for some other government job exams if I didn't get selected this year .plz help
Ans: Hi Abilasha,

A score of 652 in NEET is no joke. Have you checked what went wrong in that exam? Analyzing your performance is essential.

I think you may not have had the moral support you needed, which is why you chose to pursue a BSc. It’s challenging to juggle multiple tasks, such as preparing for NEET while attending a regular course. Nowadays, there are many distractions like friends and social media, not to mention the plethora of advice and predictions from the media that can feel overwhelming. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution; it varies from person to person. We humans are unique and shouldn't simply follow what others say.

Your goal is to become a physician, and that should be your main focus. I noticed that you didn’t mention which specialization you chose for your BSc. If you had selected subjects related to NEET—like Chemistry, Biology, and Physics—you could have focused on them without needing to study the same topics separately and could have dedicated more time to the other subjects.

In recent years, we have started to encounter these kinds of entrance exams and experiences, and we still need to go through exit exams.

So, don't let anything worry you. Focus on one task at a time and complete it. I believe you are capable of accomplishing your goal this year.

ALL THE BEST.
