I am Khwaish Chawla, currently pursuing an MBBS at UNSASMC Jaunpur (Uma Nath Autonomous State Medical College) UNSASMC, Jaunpur. I qualified the NEET exam in the year 2022 and got admission to a government medical college. The fact that government medical colleges in India provide standard medical education at such low costs is just amazing.

My path to choosing MBBS

When I completed high school, I had no idea what stream I was going to choose. After a lot of exploring, I chose PCB with no idea of the future. When I reached class 12 I realized it's a very tough competition out there. I wasted no more time and began preparing for NEET, and then COVID-19 hit us all that year. It was a very tough time. I took a drop and attempted again in 2022 and cleared the exam with 610 marks. Joining MBBS has been my best decision so far. There are times when this course makes you exhausted since everyone knows it is actually one of the most difficult courses in the world. But, I don't regret joining it at all. The idea of being called Dr. Khwaish Chawla and contributing to the community drives me to keep going and reach my goal. I think serving in the health industry really gives you that satisfaction that you need in life, and I'm so glad I get the chance to do that in the upcoming future.

My father's last wish was to see me as a doctor.

Like every medical student, I'm very passionate about my course. It has taught me so much I cannot even tell. Seeing your parents boast about how their child is going to be a doctor is every student's dream. My dad passed away 5 months ago; his last words were DOCTOR 1 (me) and DOCTOR 2 (for my younger brother), and fortunately, both of us siblings are going to be doctors soon, making him and everyone else proud. All this fuels my passion for my field. Like every aspirant's parents, my mother also did everything she could to get me into college and study without any problems. I aim to make her face fewer problems in the future, as she truly deserves it.

Q:   How to prepare for NEET exam and get a good rank?

Here are some tips to help you prepare for NEET and improve your chances of getting a good rank: 1 Understand the Syllabus: Go through the NEET syllabus thoroughly and create a study plan accordingly. Divide the topics into manageable chunks and make sure you cover each one systematically. 2 Refer to Good Study Materials: Use the best study material available in the market, such as NCERT books, reference books, and online resources. 3 Take Mock Tests: Taking mock tests regularly will help you assess your strengths and weaknesses, and give you an idea of the exam pattern and the difficulty level of the questions. 4 Time Management: Time management is crucial when it comes to cracking NEET. Devote sufficient time to each section, and make sure you complete the entire paper within the given time frame. 5 Stay Healthy: Take care of your physical and mental health to ensure that you can stay focused and motivated during your preparation.

Remember, consistent effort and practice are key to success in NEET. Keep practicing and stay focused on your goal, and you are sure to achieve a good rank. Good luck!
Q:   It is possible to crack NEET exam without coaching?
A:

I will not say, it is impossible. It is possible, but you have work very hard and must give your 200% effort to crack these competitive exams. In my opinion, it is better to take coaching for NEET exam. Coaching makes your exam preparation easier. Sometimes, if you get lots of doubt then you can get it cleared by your tutor who has got the subject knowledge.

Students get individual attention at coaching institutes and they focus on learning and development of students as per their requirement. Coaching centers also teach you a lot of tips, tricks and time management that help you to crack NEET exam. But, you have to be careful in choosing a right and resourceful coaching center, as there are many fraud coaching centers that works for money and not for delivering knowledge to the students.

Q:   I am doing BSc and I want to crack NEET. How do I prepare for NEET?
A:

How do I prepare for the NEET during a BSc Preparation of NEET UG with your on going BSc Degree. There are two things involved and I'm going to give the answer in two fragments. SEE if you are going to do your BSc From a government college where you have to study and pass your sem/annual exam with practicals then it will be lil tough for you, then remember one thing don't make a mistake of studying in last month to take exam of your college bc it will only waste your time of one month which might be very crucial from perspective of NEET and it will be a hazard if sem/annual exam falls near your NEET exam. So study for college solely by attending lecture of your teachers in college and make their notes and you can bunk your college to prepare for NEET don't waste your time in making frnds in college and make a habit of studying for college BSc In only study hours of your college and rest of the time for NEET and make sure you dedicate your focused I repeat focused 5-6 hour of time for NEET and increase it gradually. And for college exams don't take stress you have your notes just revise them before one week and you are good to go If you are doing your B.Sc. From private college then boom don't take any tension just talk to administration and you won't have to attend the college ( if they ask pay them if it's a small college they will accept the offer for 5-6k ) you don't have to attend the lecture and practicals too just go and take the exam and may be they will arrange something for you in exams too like cheating and all you will pass it without any tension. Although you can buy notes of subjects from market notes are available in market and study them before 2 weeks of your exam and you can study for your NEET exam. It would be tough to manage both of them but over-all it is rewarding so do it and ha! Don't take any pressure everything comes from practice and studying is a practice dude! Make a habit of doing meditation you will SEE the benefits within 30 days start with 5 minutes and gradually increase upto 15 minutes for first 30 days it will surely help in your studies. Don't fall for the trap that I can revise something in that 15 minutes or can chill by listening songs or watching videos nope don't do that mediation can ease your journey of preparation.

Doctors are called "Gods" for a reason.

MBBS is a very extensive course; it expects so much from you (only medicos will understand it). It teaches you to be so tough that actually nothing can break you. Seeing patients near you struggling to survive and doctors, on the other hand, trying their best to help them just makes you so strong and humbles you. This course has taught me to empathize with people, listen to people's problems, and help them. No matter how the patient treats you, you are supposed to be calm and do your job. Doctors are called "Gods" for a reason, and I realized it seeing my seniors on the real ground. All this motivates me to be a better version of myself every day.

Path to UNSASMC Jaunpur

I appeared for NEET in 2022 and scored 610 marks, which paved my way to UNSASMC Jaunpur. I did not attend any coaching as such. I did join the Allen leadership Test Series to aid my preparation for the exam, and it really helped me.

My radar during counseling had colleges near my hometown, i.e., Lucknow, and due to silly mistakes during ROUND 1 of my state counseling, I couldn't get the college of my choice as per my rank. In All India counseling ROUND 1, I was allotted SVIMS Tirupati, but it was 1800 km from my hometown, and I couldn't go so far. going there would have involved the change of states and culture, thus making my graduation journey even tougher. So, I didn't take up that college and settled on the one I was allotted in ROUND 2 by state counseling since it was the best and only option I had at that time.

Q:   Can I prepare for NEET along with third year BSc. If yes, how?
A:

You can prepare for NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) along with your third year BSc. However, it will require you to manage your time effectively and plan your studies efficiently. Here are some tips on how to prepare for NEET while pursuing your BSc Degree:

Create a schedule: Create a study schedule that allows you to allocate time for your NEET preparation as well as your BSc Coursework. Prioritise your time and ensure that you give adequate time to both.

Study regularly: Consistency is key. Make sure you dedicate some time every day to prepare for NEET even if it's just a few hours. Regular practice and revision will help you retain the concepts better.

Use online resources: There are many online resources available that offer NEET preparation materials, including practice tests, study materials, and video lectures. Make use of these resources to supplement your studies.

Join a coaching institute: Joining a coaching institute can help you stay on track with your NEET preparation and provide you with additional resources and support.

Take mock tests: Taking mock tests is an essential part of NEET preparation. It will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, and also give you a sense of the exam pattern and difficulty level. Seek help from your professors: If you are facing any difficulties with your BSc Coursework, don't hesitate to seek help from your professors. They can provide you with additional guidance and support to help you manage your studies effectively.

Q:   Can I take a partial drop by taking BSc for preparing for NEET? How can I manage both?
A:

Taking a partial drop by pursuing a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree while preparing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) can be challenging but is certainly possible. Here are some tips to help you manage both: Create a study plan: Develop a realistic study plan that includes specific goals, timelines, and study hours for both your B.Sc. coursework and NEET preparation. Allocate your time effectively and prioritize the most important tasks. Utilize your resources: Make the most of your resources, such as textbooks, online courses, and coaching centers. Use study materials that are designed specifically for NEET preparation. Attend classes regularly: Attend your BSc classes regularly and pay attention to lectures to avoid falling behind in your coursework. Keep up with assignments and exams to maintain good academic standing. Optimize your study environment: Create a conducive study environment that is free from distractions and allows you to focus on your studies. Set up a comfortable study area with good lighting and minimal noise. Take care of your physical and mental health: Maintain a healthy lifestyle by getting enough sleep, eating nutritious food, and exercising regularly. Manage stress and anxiety by practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Seek support: Seek support from your friends, family, or academic advisors whenever you need help or guidance. Join study groups or online communities to connect with peers who are in a similar situation. Remember, taking a partial drop requires a lot of dedication, hard work, and perseverance. But with proper planning and time management, you can manage both your BSc studies and NEET preparation successfully.

Q:   How should I prepare for the NEET?
A:
First of all, do not take NEET preparation lightly as it is the most competitive national-level entrance exam. So be prepared for the efforts. Second, your interest has to be there in all three subjects. Every subject holds marks so it is significant for your rank. Now coming to the priority tips for the NEET preparation- NEET Biology- What anyone would say, first go for NCERT only, so would I. Just go for thorough study materials, every diagram, line, table, summary, and everything. 5-10 readings I would say and everything will be on tips. After that refer to coaching modules correctly and practice them. Practice questions from MTG Biology at your fingertips. NEET Chemistry NCERT is the key for Inorganic and organic especially. Revise inorganic on a daily basis, it is a scoring subject. Write down exceptions and reactions in a separate notebook. Do practice questions for organic and physical. Physics- Do refer to your coaching notes for theory and assigned modules for practice. Join the Mock test series in the last month. Solve NEET and JEE Main (for Physics and Chemistry), previous year test papers for better practice and try to go for the easiest approach for the questions. Be confident as you have recently appeared for boards so most of the concepts are fresh in mind.

Experience at College

My time at college is mostly studying. On some days, we do enjoy it though. We have 8:30 am–5:30 pm college hours, and then we are on our own. In the meantime, I rest, study, indulge in hobbies, and waste time on social media. Sometimes, classes are conducted on Sundays too.

My favorite subjects in my second year are Pharmacology and Pathology! I'm not a fan of Microbiology, to be honest. As far as extracurricular  activities are concerned, I participate in college events for management, dance programs, and also CMEs conducted in our college. If I'm given a chance, I would really like to get involved in some research work besides preparing for the NEET PG exam that I'll appear for once I graduate in 2027. The college experience has changed me for good. Earlier, I used to be a shy and gullible person, but now I think I've come a long way from that version of me. I have more confidence in myself now, and I think, if I put my mind to something, I can really achieve it. I've realized how fast time flies and try my best to seize the day the best I can.

I can't wait to graduate and am really excited to meet the version of me that develops by then.
