Didn’t get MBBS in Medical College in India?
With the NEET UG results, students are worried about getting MBBS admissions in India, thousands of medical aspirants are left with a career dilemma. The month of July bought a taste of success to few and bitterness of failure & struggle to thousands of medical aspirants.
Every year approximately 20 lakh students dream about getting through NEET and of securing an MBBS seat for themselves but very few could turn their dreams into reality. Due to less availability of MBBS seats in Govt. medical colleges, the percentage of students getting MBBS is as low as 5%.
This huge gap in no. of medical aspirants and availability of MBBS seats, is taking a toll over the future of medical aspirants. The candidates who fail to get an MBBS seat will mostly wait for the next attempt. Every year no. of medical aspirants increases by approximately 2 lac, which further leads to a higher level of competition. Chances of getting an MBBS seat is eventually getting tougher with every passing year. Few students are lucky enough to crack the exam in subsequent attempts while a lot of students waste their time in preparation and end up giving up on their dream. The journey of getting MBBS in India needs a lot of patience & perseverance.
Do you know after the end of this year’s MBBS counseling in India what are the options available for the candidates who will not get MBBS admission?
Most of the unsuccessful candidates go for one of the following options:
- ONE MORE ATTEMPT – Many students believe that investing one more year might fetch good results for them. Giving one more attempt can turn the tables for few but there is always an associated uncertainty. Every year cut-offs are getting higher and no. of students eligible to appear in NEET is also increasing. Thus, giving one more attempt is surely a courageous decision to make.
- MBBS IN PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES – Many students who couldn’t get a seat in Govt. Medical colleges can opt for Private Medical colleges if they can afford to pay a hefty fee.
