My Daughter Wants to Take PCMB in 12th and Become a Doctor: Should She Join Coaching?

Ans: I have fully UNDERSTOOD your Question in HINDI. Please ask Your DAUGHTER TO READ MY ANSWER. (1) Joining a Dummy School is slightly risky, as Govt. may blacklist dummy school any time. Depends upon Govt. Policy. If you want to take risk on 'Dummy School', you can go ahead (2) If your daughter targets NEET, it is advisable to choose only PCB and NOT Maths. (3) She cannot focus both on JEE & NEET (3) Studying at Kota has both Merits & Demerits. She will have to go through a lot of pressure (which she should be able to bear) apart from outside / canteen food she will have to eat. She will have to wash her clothes etc. Merit is quality of Coaching will be good at ALLEN and some 2-3 good institutes. But you have to decide, based on availability of accommodation, fees affordability etc. She will have a lot of doubt clearing sessions and she also will come to know where she stands among other students and where she has to move / improve? (3) ALLEN will be a good Coaching Center in Delhi also. She can join nearby her residence in Delhi to reduce her travel time. Some IMPORTANT Preparation Strategies for Her: (1) Whenever she studies at home, she should study for 45-minutes. Then take a break of 10-minutes when she can move away from her study table, walk, have some water & relax. If she continues studying beyond 45-minutes, her concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake. (2) On daily basis (morning or evening whichever will be convenient to her), do yoga or meditation or physical exercises or play any games / sports (whichever she can do) for at least 30-45 minutes This will further reduce her stress / distractions. (3) She should study tough topics / tough subjects (applicable to her) early morning with your fresh mind. (4) Should eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits & avoid soft drinks (5) Every day night, before going to bed, she should revise whatever she has studied during the day. (6) Also, should revise every week whatever she has covered till date (here her short-notes which she should prepare will be helpful). (7) She should also keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online (8) Should give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM) (8) You might be aware that NEET rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Biology. She should practice more and more in Biology, till she reaches Speed & Accuracy (9) By the end of 11th/12th standards (December-January), she should attempt fully syllabus online test series / mock tests, evaluate and analyse her performance such as, (a) which topic / unit / concept you are weak which needs your revision and improvement as this will disturb her when she appears in actual NEET exam (b) abnormal time taken to attempt any question which she can come to know from Online Test Series which she should reduce (c) which questions she skipped and why? (10) She should AVOID studying under pressure that she should definitely get admission only into top Medical Colleges. Never advisable. (11) She should Have Plan B & Plan C for other Colleges Entrance Exams / Disciplines-Streams (allied-Medicines / Pure Sciences). (11) She should avoid comparing herself with other students. (12) Also, it is highly ideal to appear in / attempt minimum 2-3-Entrance Exams (for both Govt & Private Engineering Colleges), apart from NEET / CUET for Allied-Medicine & Pure Science Courses. She will have a lot of options (easiest method, if she does not score well in NEET) to choose the best and most suitable one, keeping in view a lot of factors such as, College | Location | Her Interest | Stream Preference | Placement Records | College Culture | Her Short & Long Term Goals | Pressure She Can Go Through / Bear | Her AIR & Job Market Condition. I hope I have answered to your question with value additions. All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future.
