Dear Aspirant,

Taking a drop or not should be decided by yourself solely without asking others. if you are done deciding then get ready to prepare everyday harder then the past day as per I know, people mess up a lot if they have multiple choices to go for perhaps I'm not against keeping backups like IELTS or so on but just realize that you have a complete year now it's highly recommended to finalize what you want to do before actually doing it and IELTS is not a hard exam you can crack it easily so try not to think any alternatives as you decided to give NEET again by taking a year drop just focus on it first later if things go wrong, afcourse it never happens if you are serious about achieving something, you can have alternatives such as IELTS.

You can download NEET previous year question papers from as it helps alot in long run:

Hey Surinder,

Yes, you can drop NEET after class 12th. This allows you to make up for missed time and improve your concepts.

This one year will only be beneficial if you prepare well and truly want to pass NEET, otherwise drop year can be quite unpleasant and miserable. So I would suggest not to think about failure from the beginning only.

Trust me if you believe it you can definitely do it.

It all depends on how well you handle that year and keep yourself busy. Don't study all day; instead, meditate and engage in other enjoyable activities. Studying should be made a fun process; solve exam papers. Review the course and create tables and charts to help you remember the material.

And about IELTS, it is not a very difficult exam , it needs practice and you can do it within two to three months easily if you put all your dedication. So for that you don't need to drop a year. Keeping a back up plan is good there is no wrong in it, but still I will suggest that focus on the ancillary first.

I know you will be able to do it.

All the very best.

Hope it is helpful.

Regards.
