Anonymous: I am a 19-year-old and I think I will not be able to crack NEET this time as I'm not scoring well.
It's my third attempt. I thought this would be my last attempt but now I'm thinking of giving fourth attempt.
I am confused whether or not to give it.
Please advise what should I do?
Hello, I have to answer it practically and realistically.
As you have repeated NEET twice already and this was your third time, you can understand it well.
If you are serious and committed enough to give it all in the next NEET attempt and becoming a doctor from India is your dream, then only go for it. Otherwise, you can pursue it from abroad as well.
I can help you with that.
My daughter wants to pursue MBBS.
