Zeel Vipul Vyas: I am delighted

Careers360 Where did your interest in medicine come from?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: When I joined a coaching institute for preparation, I started liking biology and decided to pursue it. Earlier I was unsure about choosing between math and biology. My decision to join the coaching institute in Class 9 was to make sure I would not make a wrong choice when I chose the subject in Class 11. Coaching institutes were a great way for me when selecting subjects in class 11, and I am glad I did.

Careers360:Is this your first attempt?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: Yes, it is the first time I have attempted NEET in 2022.

Careers360: How long did it take you to start seriously studying for the NEET?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: It was only in class 11 that actual NEET preparation began.

Careers360: Has school studying and NEET preparation been manageable for you?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: The two exams were never separated, and I prepared them together. It was more about understanding concepts and asking as many questions as possible to clarify any doubts I might have. In order to be successful in either subjective or objective contests, you need a solid grasp of the fundamentals and a lot of practice. Immediately following my board exam, I practiced as many previous year's NEET question papers as possible and took as many NEET mock tests as possible.

Careers360:What is the importance of self-study to you?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: The day started with schooling, followed by coaching classes. The remaining time was dedicated to self-study, but I didn't forget to have fun, as it's important not to overdo things. The one thing I make sure to maintain is my love of listening to music.

Careers360:How would you rate your strengths and weaknesses in each subject?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: I have always considered biology my strongest and favorite subject. In truth, I pursued MBBS only for the biology course, and there was no such thing as a weak subject. It was just that physics took a little more time, and I had to practice a lot.

Careers360: How did you approach the NEET question papers?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: There was no strategic approach, and I simply followed the order of the question papers

Careers360:When it comes to pursuing MBBS, which college is your first choice?

Careers360: To aspirants preparing for NEET, what advice would you give?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: There is no doubt that hard work is the key to success, but hard work without a plan can be fruitless. Time management is something that everyone should learn. Aside from that, you shouldn't ignore a teacher's guidance because it is a blessing. Maintain a regular study schedule and clarify doubts as soon as they arise. Make sure you don't put it behind your back, thinking I will get to it later. If doubt remains, do not move on to another chapter or subject until the question has been answered.

Careers360: What are some helpful time management tips you can share?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: Prioritizing things and giving equal importance to board and NEET exams is very critical. Preparation should begin as soon as you become aware of the upcoming subject.
