I take 2 partial drop with pursuing plain bsc I was preparing for NEET exam but I wasn't serious the way I should be and wasted whole two years now I am not able to understand what to do I am not able to see anything about my career after bsc I don't understand what to do

Ans: Ansika, Feeling lost after a partial drop and NEET preparation is common, but a BSc degree opens a wide array of career paths across science, healthcare, technology, data, and even management sectors. You can pursue higher studies such as an MSc for specialization in your field, MCA for a strong IT career, or an MBA to transition into business roles. Direct job opportunities after BSc include research assistant, lab technician, data analyst, clinical research associate, teacher, or roles in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and environmental science. Government sectors like forest services, agriculture, railways, and hospitals also recruit BSc graduates for technical and administrative roles. If you are unsure of your interests, consider a psychometric test to identify your strengths and aptitudes, or seek guidance from a career counselor to align your skills with emerging opportunities. Explore internships or short-term certifications to gain practical experience and confidence in your chosen field. Focus on your strengths, stay open to diverse opportunities, and remember that many successful professionals started with uncertainty—your BSc is a valuable foundation for multiple rewarding careers. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!

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.
Thanks

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.
For any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Asked by Anonymous - Jul 05, 2025Hindi
Career
Sir...how should i prepare to score 250+ out of 300 in jee mains..and secure admission at nit calicut for cse..please guide me.
Ans: To score 250+ marks in JEE Main (equivalent to 99+ percentile), you need to achieve high accuracy across all three subjects. This score opens doors to top NITs including NIT Calicut CSE, which typically requires an All-India rank below 4,000-5,000 for general category students.

Key Strategies for 250+ Score: 1. Master High-Weightage Topics First - Focus on chapters that consistently appear in JEE Main with maximum weightage.

Physics: Current Electricity. Electromagnetic Induction. Properties of Solids and Liquids. Optics. Modern Physics.

Chemistry: Transition Elements & Coordination Chemistry. Periodic Table. Thermodynamics & Gaseous State. Chemical Bonding.

Mathematics: Coordinate Geometry. Limits, Continuity & Differentiability. Integral Calculus. Matrices & Determinants.

2. Conceptual Understanding Over Memorization - JEE Main tests deep conceptual clarity rather than rote learning. Focus on understanding the "why" behind every formula and concept, especially in Physics where problem-solving patterns are crucial.

3. NCERT Mastery (Especially Chemistry) - NCERT forms the foundation, particularly for Chemistry where direct questions are frequently asked. Every line in NCERT Chemistry textbooks should be thoroughly understood.

4. Strategic Practice & Mock Tests - Solve at least 20+ previous year papers and take weekly mock tests to build exam temperament and identify weaknesses. Analyze every wrong answer to avoid repetition.

5. Time Management & Accuracy
Practice solving questions within limited time per mark. Focus on accuracy over speed initially. Then gradually build speed.

Subject-Specific Preparation Strategy - Physics: Start with mechanics and thermodynamics from Class 11. Then move to electrodynamics and modern physics from Class 12. Practice numerical problems extensively.

Chemistry: Begin with physical chemistry concepts. Memorize all inorganic chemistry reactions and trends. Master organic reaction mechanisms.

Mathematics: Strengthen algebra and calculus foundations. Practice coordinate geometry extensively. Solve diverse problem types.

Achieving AIR Under 1000: Advanced Strategies - For AIR under 1000, you need a very high percentile. This requires:

1. Perfect Conceptual Clarity - Master every topic deeply with ability to solve advanced-level problems. Focus on understanding rather than just solving.

2. Advanced Problem-Solving - After mastering JEE Main level questions, gradually move to JEE Advanced level problems for enhanced problem-solving skills.

3. Error Analysis & Improvement - Maintain detailed error logs. Analyze patterns in mistakes. Work systematically to eliminate weaknesses.

4. Consistent Performance - Aim for high marks in each subject consistently. Even one poor section can drop your rank significantly.

Optimal Study Schedule for Class 11 Students: Daily Routine (School-Going Students)
Morning (5:30 AM - 8:00 AM):

5:30-6:00 AM: Wake up, freshen up.

6:00-7:00 AM: Study most challenging subject (Mathematics/Physics).

7:00-8:00 AM: Breakfast and school preparation.

School Hours (8:00 AM - 3:00 PM):

Attend classes actively. Focus on NCERT concepts.

Utilize free periods for quick formula revision.

Evening Study (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM):

4:00-6:00 PM: Coaching homework/DPPs/Practice.

6:00-6:30 PM: Break.

6:30-8:00 PM: Subject rotation (Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics).

8:00-9:00 PM: Dinner break.

9:00-10:00 PM: Revision and note-making.

Study Hours Distribution - Class 11 Students: Start with 3-4 hours daily. Gradually increase to 6-8 hours by end of Class 11.

Subject-wise allocation: Equal time for all three subjects (1.5-2 hours each). Extra focus on weaker areas.

Weekend Strategy: Extended study sessions. Full-length mock tests on Sundays.

Essential Study Materials & Resources - Physics: NCERT. H.C. Verma. D.C. Pandey for problem-solving.

Chemistry: NCERT (mandatory). O.P. Tandon. Morrison & Boyd for organic.

Mathematics: NCERT. R.D. Sharma. Coordinate Geometry by S.L. Loney.
Quick Recap/Summary: For 250+ JEE Main Score: Master high-weightage topics (Current Electricity. Coordinate Geometry. Transition Elements). Achieve high accuracy through conceptual clarity. Solve 50+ previous papers. Take weekly mocks. Maintain NCERT mastery especially for Chemistry. For AIR
