Student X initially enrolled in NEET coaching during grade 11 with aspirations of pursuing a career in medicine. However, the student faced difficulties in physics, and her parents were concerned about her level of preparation and the likelihood of achieving a competitive NEET score. They approached us to explore alternative career paths in allied fields as a backup plan.
We guided her through a variety of career options beyond medicine and provided mentoring. As expected, her NEET score fell short of the admission requirements. Nevertheless, the student expressed a strong desire to try again, committing to a year of focused preparation. Despite her renewed efforts, she began experiencing heightened stress, which affected her eating habits, disrupted her sleep, and caused significant anxiety.
Recognizing the impact on her well-being, the student decided to discontinue NEET preparation and instead pursue a B.Sc. in Psychology at Amity University, Bangalore.
As career experts, our role is to support students in striving towards their goals while also helping them reassess and adjust their path when necessary. We work closely with students to ensure they not only pursue their ambitions but also maintain their mental and physical health along the way.
