If your NEET score is not high enough for admission to medical school, there are a few options you can consider:
- Re-taking the exam: If you believe that you can improve your score, you can consider re-taking the NEET exam.
- Pursue other health-related degrees: You can consider other health-related degrees such as dentistry, nursing, or physiotherapy.
- Consider alternative career paths: You can explore other career options that do not require a medical degree such as a health administrator, health policy analyst, or healthcare marketer.
- Look for opportunities abroad: If you’re interested in studying medicine abroad, you can look for medical schools that have lower admission requirements than those in India.
- Consider alternate degrees: You can explore degrees in fields such as biomedical, chemistry , pharmacology and then go for a postgraduate degree in medical sciences.
It’s important to remember that your NEET score is not the only determinant of your future success and there are many other opportunities available. It’s important to explore all options and to make a well-informed decision about your future career.
