Hi there! It's completely normal to feel this way right now. Here's a little advice: if you can, try to find a job. Jobs are hard to come by these days, so if you land one, it's a great chance to gain real-life experience.
Also, while working, you might want to prepare for exams. It might be tough with long work hours, but you'll find a way to manage once you start.
If by PG you mean post-graduation, having both work experience and a PG degree can be a strong combination in today's competitive job market.
Good luck!

Hi Khushi,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts so openly. It's completely normal to feel disappointed after your first NEET PG attempt, but remember, this experience has provided you with valuable insights for your next steps.
You have two great options:
Drop Year: If you are feeling motivated and confident that focused preparation can boost your rank, taking a year to study might be worthwhile. Many students do better on their second try because they understand the exam better and can prepare more effectively.
Job: If you are looking for financial stability, practical experience, or a break from studying, starting a job can be very rewarding. Even roles in healthcare support, research, or related fields can enhance your profile and keep you connected to the medical world.
The important thing is to consider your energy, mental health, and long-term goals. If the thought of preparing again feels too much, a job might offer the balance and confidence you need. If you are still passionate about pursuing PG, then a focused drop year might be the way to go.
Remember, success in medicine isn't just about one exam. Many doctors find success through different paths, whether in PG, practice, research, or healthcare management. What's most important is choosing a path that feels right for you.
I suggest taking a short break, talking to mentors or seniors, and thinking about how much effort you are ready to put in versus the stability you need now. Both choices of drop year and a job can lead to growth if you fully commit.
You have not wasted time, Khushi, you have gained resilience. Now it's about using that resilience to take the next step that feels best for you.
Wishing you clarity and strength and all the best for your future.
