    To qualify NEET in your Sixth or Seventh Attempt is it worthy?

    I came across the story of a boy who cleared NEET in his 7th attempt and it was flaunted as a success story. Is it something really worth it to start a career in something so late? There are many people like him who spent years and years on this exam just to be with people who are a lot younger than them. In this entire time period only thing important in their lives is this exam.
    Do you think this is worth it?

    Neelam,
    There are many such examples at least in our country making unique records of achieving something giving message to the people that honest labourer pays ultimately. They don't mind the temporary setbacks in the event of failures and they would go on attempting till they are successful. This speaks of their relentless efforts towards achieving their dream- target.
    I have gone through numerous examples where parents are appearing in different examinations along with their children to show them that they are not inferior in any case. In some cases, parents are placed in first divisions but their children have to contend with a mere second division for the same examination say B. A. In English Honours.
    Zeal is something else which knows no boundary.

    It is not at all worth it, I feel. A person losing 7 years just for qualifying in an entrance test is a waste of time. MBBS degree may take a minimum of 6 years to complete. That means after intermediate the boy spends a minimum of 13 years to obtain a UG degree.
    MBBS is not the only course worth studying. There are many other courses and subjects. Within that 13 years, the boy might have completed a PG course and might have gained some 5 to 6 years of experience. He might have settled in his life. So getting qualified in NEET after 7 attempts can't be considered as a success story. I may be wrong but I am telling my opinion.
    If somebody makes a goal of getting a seat in MBBS at any cost may feel what he did is correct. But when we are you wasting 7 years without any progress is not at all advisable.

    Time is an important factor in the lives of students and they cannot go on endlessly to achieve something by spending a large amount of time on it. There are many other career lines also other than NEET and in my view it is not a very healthy thing to pursue only one particular goal until one gets success in it.
    Today there are so many career lines available in the industry and market because of technological boom and other advancements and a student must focus on 2-3 alternatives and options in case one particular career line is taking much more time for getting success. Keeping a balance in these matters is very necessary to avoid wastage of prime time in one's life.

    Knowledge is power.

    Time is very precious to all of us and it should be used in an intelligent way. Struggling for almost six years to qualify NEET cannot be said to be a wise step. He could have taken at most two attempts to try his luck and beyond that he had to look for another option. Supposing after a break of two years, he could have taken up at least graduation course which could offer him a lot of jobs in Banking, LIC, State level service commissions or even starting his MBA course afresh for his better growth.
    Youths should not be day dreamers but they should be good planners in terms of their education and career.

    Neelam,

    Please clarify whether it is the 67th attempt as mentioned in the title or the 7th attempt as mentioned in the text.

    It was 6th and 7th attempt and not 67th attempt but I will clear it in the topic as it might feel confusing to some of the readers in the absense of a word in between the two.

    The question raises the topic of whether qualifying NEET in the sixth or seventh attempt is considered worthy. Some view it as a testament to perseverance, dedication, and a fulfilling career choice. Others question the time and effort spent, wondering if it's the best use of resources and if starting a career later than peers is worth it. The worthiness depends on individual passion for medicine, determination, and willingness to overcome challenges. Personal aspirations and circumstances play a crucial role in evaluating the significance of such achievements.
