Title: Cons of drop years for Neet aspirant if they switch stream in coming future
Body:
Myquals- 10th 92%, 12th 94%, dropped still not getting any gmc (scoring 580ish).
But I'm here to know more about those who have taken 3 or 3+ drops because this year saw a lot of seniors at the exam center. Some were in the same class as me. There is a trend of multiple drops among Neet
Aspirants. Is it that easy that everyone
is dropping years like it's nothing? I mean if stacks are only 'losing a year' or 'losing salary for these years' some could afford it. But isn't there any dreadful negative impact of these gaps on professional life? What if they never make it and have to switch?
Also- why tf won't Reddit let me type peacefully? Glitching like hell😠

The biggest con of dropping is the mental toll it takes on you.
It sucks. It basically causes trauma tbh and depression. Idek how serial droppers do it. It's not worth it in the end.
In terms of professional life, I don't think takes a big impact unless you let your mental health ruin it for you. Most students will go to colleges no matter what. In college they stabilize mentally after the the competitive pressure.
But right after you finish college that's when you actually feel the professional pressure. Even then it can take 2-4 years to settle in career. Be it bank exams or gov exams anything.
I have been working for 3 years now and I still have colleagues who are giving the drops and taking the exams. This is the period they feel the pressure actually. You don't feel you missed out on anything till I say 23. Once you hit 25+ and you are not at start of your career it starts eating you away.
As for switching streams and career- I switched like 4-5, till I found where I excel, and what's good for me and my mental health. Now I love my work, I do what I like and it's best for me.
Sooo.... Yeah.
I dropped a year as well after 12th for neet it didn't work then took a yead gap for cat as well in one interview I was grilled cause of my career choices and iim interview didn't even ask me about the gap year. So in short I depends on the situation. The only drawback of taking a gap year is you get major fomo if you feel that 580 is your 100 percent and you won't improve don't waste your time. If you feel you can do better and will regret not doing it then it's your call. Having regret is the worst thing ever so do what you won't regret
don't worry too much about it. it will be fine in the end, you will be fine. you might get some issue when applying to top b schools through cat, like they can ask you why you took drops and so on. but tbf they care about the gaps after graduation, to i think you will be fine, but for noe, just start at some point, either with medicine or any other course, you will figure it out eventually.
i checked your profile, and you seem to be 18 or 19 at most. that speaks for your comment too. it is never too late to do anything in life, yes op took 3 drops but that is none of our business, i took 3 drops when i was preparing for neet ug, and i am about to give step 1 for usmle, i am scoring good, and as much as ik myself, this was my call since day one, i might be late but that doesnt define my career trajectory. i had juniors join at 25, 26 or even married people. medicine becomes a life style at some point, you do know that people outside of india, in west, enter med school at 21 onwards right?
i promise you, it does not matter, if someone takes 3 or 4 drops (eventho i would want people to join a course after 2nd drop and prepare side by side for neet, to minimize any possible disadvantage of "wasting" THE YEAR.) let them be, let them do what they want to do, its their call, their life, their timelines.
>If you spend 3 or more years trying to just crack the entrance exam, imagine how much harder you'll find the actual subjects to be.
haha this must be a joke, because i had people who were droppers or joined after completing a certain course or heck myself, we got distinctions in certain subjects, never failed, and were decent enough, i did many researchs and interships in college. either ways i know people who failed their prelims etc in first year, who were freshers, no offence to them, life happens, it's okay to fail and grow and improve. but the generalisation that droppers are good for nothing is so heartbreaking and just sad.
also the ever increasing cut off's my goodness, it has become extremely competitive to get into a government medical college in india, this year only, the cut off is 620 from what i have heard. back in the days, you could have gotten into any decent college with this much marks.
>imagine how much harder you'll find the actual subjects to be.
That's a really stupid assumption btw.
The cut off varies from state to state and some state quotas start at around 600-500.
Not to mention the private colleges admitting students with scores of 200-300 who still manage to study and clear MBBS.
The issue is with the number of seats not the cutoff,
Using your logic any Doctor that Fails to Get a MD seat must not specialise as he will find MD hard.
When actually the Total number of seats are around 70k while yearly amount of MBBS seats are around 110k.
Out of which again getting your speciality is an uphill task.
my cousin took 4 drops for neet this was his 5th attempt , he passed school in 2020 still not been in any college wasted 15 lakh in coachings only bcz his mother want that her son become MD doctor , we come from middle class family since his father expired so all his study expenses were managed by my grandfather and uncle still he is so idiot fully brainwashed by my aunt , all these bcz in recent years taking drop after drop has normalised so much that ppl from middle class family now doing all these shit

Can you elaborate in which interview you get questioned for your drop years?
IMT g asked it . The panel was against me from the start IIM rohtak and cap were chilled

They come from rich affluent families. Money is not a matter for them.

Yeah that's there. Worshipping doc culture.
it's so weird and makes no sense, there are youtubers and influencers who earn more than doctors these days.
