I'm currently in 12th right now and I'll be appearing NEET exam next year. I most probably wont get in on my first try. I know the mindset should be to give my all and crack it in the first try. But realistically speaking, i dont think that's possible. I feel so conflicted. I used to be so against taking year gap. But now that I'm putting more thought into it, im starting to consider it. But i also feel worried looking at my peers and their strong opinions against a year gap. I know i should only follow what i think is right for me but i cant help but feel the need for some advice, maybe from some who are experienced?
Hmm i was in same place and kinda stubborn. Like during this time i was in a bad position and from 3rd pov it was not possible but i as me was dead set but flunked last month....and i was also very against drop yr....but decided in april...so if u feel like that i would recommend you as my past self that u can take early drop its always fuitful. But keep trying for this attempt too....i regret not taking early drop so....its upto u

Give your best shot but don’t expect anything I would say, expectations actually kills
If i actually say no I'll be hated as hell😭 it all depends on you.. don't have expectations, if you're willing to give one year without thinking you're wasting it, that's fine, cuz I've seen so many people who went with the flow and now they're all 20-21 and still preparing.. whereas the people from their batch who opted for other courses instead like enj/phycology/physiotherapy and more they're all almost settled with 0 regrets infact they're happier then the MBBS onces.
Exactly! That's what worries me the most. Also the feeling of rush and pressure while on gap and watching my other peers go on with colleges. It'll feel like im behind. Especially if it doesn't turn out to be fruitful then that'll be such a big regret.
Well that's exactly why you shouldn't have any expectations, rn you might think that one year of drop is alottt and that you'd do really well, but I'd suggest you to scroll this sub and other neet dropper onces too, you'll find over 70% people who wasted all this time, half of them who started from December and other half spammed give up posts.
Totally. If i decide on the year gap, I'll need to develop a hell lot of discipline and a goal that is clear as crystal. Thanks for the advice!
im a dropper and if i went back a year, id say no. its not worth it.
Is it because taking a year gap may tend to make us think we have so much time to prepare. But still end up rushing in the end because we wasted all the time? What makes you say no? I'd love to know more.
yea that's also a reason but it kinda drains all ur energy. Your life feels like its on a loop, the sameee syllabus again and again, very little social interaction and nothing fun left. this is my first drop but i regret is soo much, its like im going crazy. plus when you look at your friend s insta stories who took other courses u feel reallyyy badd. i wanted to be a doctor but now idk if i could ever survive it
Yeahh that's my fear. Year gap is going to be really confining and maybe very solitary too. Have to prepare to face it if i decide on it. How's you're prep though? Do you think all these that you went through and regret, will turn out to be fruitful?
um its alright but idk why i dont feel like i would be a good doctor, i think i would loose my sanity. i mean a few of my cousins who didnt crack neet took other courses like biotech n pharma. right now they are doing pretty good and are doing their pg abroad and some hv gotten a really nice job, if they would have taken medicine they would probably still be doing their internship at a hospital which pays like 10k a month along with preparing for their neet pg which is another 3 years. i mean idk why but i think medicine is not what i wanted all along
Well then i think this year gap has been fruitful for you afterall. Now you atleast have a conscience abt your true feelings towards the medical field. I'd say dont go down the rabit hole. If you go on to do something you know you won't enjoy, it'll be really depressing. Now i cant go on to tell you to follow your true desires and not follow what you dont really want cuz it isnt really sunshine and rainbows. I understand there is parental pressure as well as personal conflict after taking a year off solely for neet. Medical field is really demanding and not for the weak. Its hard for everyone but what gets people through i think is their desire to be a doctor. The decision is on you. Thanks for your advice though!
yeah i mean im more interested towards biotech then medicine
I was against it as well and until 50 days from may 4 I was still overconfident as hell that I'd crack it even though I did not know a single thing.
Now, here I am in my drop year and have wasted it. 4 months left and all I can think of nowadays is that I should've started studying sooner or at least joined a coaching because I don't have enough discipline for self study.
Here I am, studying every chapter for the first time and having covered only 2-3 out of the 85-90. Wasted? yes. Would recommend it? Yes, because the internal development I've had this year because of some circumstances is unlike any other. Overthinking, criticising myself, comparing myself with friends and my ex's new partner, envying others, insecurity cause of my looks, spending 8-9 months locked up in home doing nothing and not even socialising on any site, having a final breakup without a goodbye, getting yelled at without a reason, crying every night for a month or two, thinking about su1c1de and everything else. It was as if i hit much worse than the rock-bottom in every aspect of my life, friends to family to relationship to academics to mental and physical health. Dragon ball z awakening type thing. And I finally feel at peace. I feel as if the storm has passed and now there's a beautiful ocean, I'm sailing upon with the sun shining and there's this breathtaking and abundant island I'm headed to, which seems far as of now, but I know that I'll make it.
And also, will suggest taking only if you know you're disciplined enough and have the ability to rise from whatever depths you are thrown into.
Sounds like you went through an awakening lol. Thanks for the advice. Tbh i think i have decided already. Only need some reassurance and convincing. My aim during the goal would not only be to prep for NEET but focus on all round development. Idea of being in college next year this time sounds unbelievable to me. Feel like i need some time to prepare for everything because I'm not ready yet.
Also, by the sound of it, your prep for next year's neet doesn't seem like its going as planned. Would you take another gap year? Haha
nah not another
enough development hogyi lol
I have a hunch that I'll make it (if i study ofc) since my state's cutoff is like 70-80k rank and many people here start preparing seriously during dec - jan
and, amazing aim. I hope you make it.
And yeahh to me aswell, going to college just after completing 12th felt weird af. Now that I look back, I truly feel like I was still a child and I'm happy that I did not join some aandu shaandu local college and instead took a gap year
Best wishes for you! I hope you make it as well! Find what works for you, cuz in the end its always your reflection that is staring back at you. Let's think like, we're not ants and neet isn't wearing boots. Good luck!
