Dear Syed, now every student aims to study in a Government Medical College and unfortunately webhave around 26000 Government Medical Seats. And statistics show that there are very few students who have been successful in securing a seat in MBBS after dropping a year. If you get a seat in a Private Medical College, may be you should go for it rather than dropping a yeat because every year there is a fresh lot which also appears in NEET. Since 2018, 3 lakh more people appeared in NEET. But seats didnt increase in the same manner and so cut offs increased by 15 marks. So as years pass by, cut offs also increase making it difficult.

Dear Syed, there are around 1500 Medical colleges in India and out of that a total of 287 are Government Medical colleges across India. And the rest are Private colleges. And these colleges are spread all over the country. And then there is 85% State Eligibility and 15% All India quota. So if you sre from Punjab and you want to secure a seat in Haryana, you should be competing in the All India Quota. Every year Lakhs of students appear for NEET. And the number of students who make it to the Medical college is in no comparision to the students who appear for the Exam. Then category, reservations come into picture. And this is just an example with data. Some people make it in the first attempt and some take quite a few attempts. But you are your own judge. You know whether you can really work hard to succeed innthe first attempt or need multiple attempts. You can always join another course keep preparing for NEET and then appear. Now there is no upper age limit nor any cap on the no
of attempts. So you have opportunities and options. Make the best use of them. Good luck!
