For anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, I've attached the ss.

Anyways, these guys want us to bring original 12th marksheet, but my college didn't give it yet. Do we print it out and give it, or nah? I asked some teacher in my college but she didn't give me a proper reply. Also, how does slot booking work? Can they really take so many students to verify documents at once? Will this take too long?

I'm seeing hundreds of people on Instagram and on reddit just contemplating if they should be taking drops.

Now for context, I'm just a 12th pass student this year. I gave NEET without that much seriousness despite taking coaching for it because I lost my interest in doing MBBS, and will probably pursue engineering now. I know not being a dropper might make people mad but I'm giving advice anyways ✌️.

The maximum I'd ever recommend to anyone to take a drop is 2 years. Take a drop, if and only if:

1. You missed the cut off by a few marks

2. You are willing to delay your college and lock tf in consistently

3. You've been a high scorer in NEET mocks all year round and have only messed up in this year's paper.

You DO NOT need to start dropping 3-4 years just to pursue a degree that requires a minimum of 10 years for a stable income. Being a doctor is not equal to getting a lot of money unless you get to work at a high end hospital. There is a chance you'll end up working in a small clinic earning something not impressive, and I feel like not too many people consider this possibility.

Being a doctor requires consistency, and I see 90% of droppers being motivated for 6 months before losing motivation and messing up their drop year. Then when they give NEET, they take yet another drop and the cycle continues.

It is absolutely not worth trying to crack the exam for so long. Y'all need to understand that cracking the exam is just the beginning. If you cannot crack the entrance exam, how will you ever be alright in an actual medical college? Medical colleges have you studying 6+ subjects at a time, and if you can't handle just 3 in the span of your drop + 11th and 12th, you're probably just trapping yourself.

Snap back to reality, do any other degree that will guarantee a stable future, and move on.

Of course, taking a drop is your decision entirely, but do not mess your life up for a degree.

EDIT: Just to reiterate, this is just my take on something. Nobody has to take this advice if they don't like it, and if a certain degree is your dream, then go for it. Just make sure to keep your mental health in check and keep a plan in mind for your future. This post is in no way written to shame droppers or criticise them, but is simply my two cents. Take everything I say with a grain of salt.
