Personal Experience and Tips

The test was all about time management and accuracy. To instill these skills, a student must be perfect in the 11th and 12th standards of physics, chemistry, and biology. If the base is not strong, then students will face difficulty in many of the advanced MCQ questions.

However, my NEET story was far from blissful. The exam never charged me—my mindset wasn’t proper—and the base wasn’t strong enough to meet the competition. I tried three times; however, self-doubt, improper coaching, a weak base in the core subjects, and disinterest in becoming a doctor were the things because of which I could not make it to medical college.

Advice for Aspirants

If you have it crystal clear in your head, with the determination to become a doctor under any circumstance, then this trip is for you. But don’t come for this particular exam with a half-hearted attempt or for that family pressure; this may lead you to the worst consequences like self-doubt, lack of confidence, or mental issues. Other, better opportunities will line your way. Just remember that “Failure in exams is not a failure in life.”

All the Best!
