Just securing bachelors in medicine is not enough one has to thrive to get a post-graduation to get a specialization to do justice with the whole process.
  2. To be a brilliant student: This is not just a myth but is a reason for many students giving up on studying medicine. A minimum aggregate of 55 percent in the class 12th examination is enough for the candidate to sit for the NEET. There is no need to be a topper in every class to be eligible to study medicine. But yes, an individual’s dedication for the same is very important.
  3. MBBS is for the rich: This is not true at all. If you are a good student, you prepare well for you NEET, score top marks and secure high rank then chances are very high that you will get admitted in one of the top medical institutes in India funded by the Government of India. Moreover, if you are a bright student, then there are various scholarships available for the students to apply for them and get their full education funded.
  4. Tough examination process: Any competitive examination that involves getting into the top colleges of the country won’t be a cakewalk. You are opting for a study that is an esteemed professional education and students from all over the country sit for the entrance test just to get admitted. If you are opting out for studying medicine just because it involves tough competition then there is no point of studying anything.

  7. Loving math won’t help in being a doctor: If you love math then there is no hard and fast rule that it won’t help in studying medicine. Mathematics is one of the important necessities if you want to dedicate your life to genetic studies. So, loving mathematics might come handy at any time.

If you want to bring innovation, technique or process to treating people and finding out ways to save lives then the best way is to study and research. A good researcher in medicine comes to a great help to the mankind as a whole and only studying can help in achieving the same.

  1. I am not any longer the topper of my class, though science is the most interesting subject for me, since last 2 years i have been scoring the least in the same (i’m in 10th currently).
    I want to know that should I be concerned about my grades at this level, do they make any difference in my ability to crack neet.
    (Also deep down I know that i’m never putting my 100% in my examinations at this point, I just don’t feel like they are important)

    1. Prof. Mohan Singh Rawat

      Your grade will not make any difference, but, your attitude towards your goal and studies will. Since you are not putting your 100%, therefore, it’s clear that you are being lethargic and slowly drifting towards carelessness. If you think that you can suddenly change your attitude after 1 or 2 years, then you are mistaken. Be in the habit of giving your best every time.

  2. hello, I’m a NEET aspirant in 11 class. actually I go to regular school and then coaching classes for 4 hours but didn’t get time to complete my school homework and I get distracted by the school, so should I do non attending as my coaching classes are too good so I think I don’t need to go to school for wasting my time. can you help me solve my situation?

    1. Prof. Rajeev Mehra

      If you think you are doing better in coaching, then you can skip school ad they both are teaching same things. But, make sure your school is ok with this.

  3. Hello.I am a neet aspirant currently in 11th class. I go to a coaching and despite of hard work , I get 400-500 in mock tests .do I need to worry ? Or how do l tackle this situation?

    1. Worrying is not going to help you. If you are giving your 100% and still not able to get the desired results, then try to find where are you making mistakes. Try to solve the previous year’s papers of neet and see how much you score in them.

  4. Arif Bhai thanks for your comment. It gave me better clarity of my intentions and helped me take my decision.

  5. Believe me it’s only only only because of the money and the swag they get by becoming a doctor. If their motive is to serve people then they can join nursing or rescue service or NGO’s cuz that too does the service to help the people. So as it is clear money and swag before relatives plus getting a good and beautiful wife plus getting a nice branded house and car and get security of income is the main reason people go into medicine, not that shitty talk that I love to serve people. if a thing makes your life worse then before and other profession what’s the difference between drugs and medicine studying.

    And don’t tell that shitty thing that medical student have friends…..I you have to study for 12+ hours daily for a time of 5+ years then say me when that person will get time for other stuff??

    If you get 20 aspirant who is not studying neet for money by 2022 the e mail me I will openly say sorry mentioning you in YouTube and other platforms. And I am sure that will never happen.

    If you can disapprove my saying then mail…..I dare you!!!

  6. A lot of Very important and.profitable things have been derailed I felt its Very important to learn at the meantime of preparation or before. as well as we must concentrate on what we are learning for the goal and should emphasize the whole and improves. Thanks for this nice article.
