Questions related to NEET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to NEET ?

firstly, for NEET the main requirements are ur own details.. ur name, ur dob, photo, signature and identity proof.. if ur mother's name is slightly different on ur 10th marksheet and her aadhar card, it usually doesnt create any issue during NEET admission or registration as well.. however if there is a major difference then u should consider getting the aadhar updated to avoid confusion during counselling or document verification

If you are not prepared for NEET with only a month left, skip this attempt and plan calmly for next year or explore other PCB(PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY) options like pharmacy, nursing, biotech or psychology. Think about which subjects you will enjoy and what kind of work suitable for you like patient-care, lab work, lab research. If you explore these areas, it will help you to find your real interest.
