Just read the whole of the deceased NEET aspirant's letter. She was scoring over 590 in her mock tests and was still scared to write the exam. She talks multiple times about the 'expectations' her parents had. She said that if she doesn't get a seat, her parents' hard work will

be in vain. She said was 'afraid' to write the exam. So in this particular case, I think we need to look beyond the politics of the exam. This is a girl who was under immense pressure weighed down by external expectations. Parents may not be standing with a ruler above their

Heads and demanding they study. But clearly high expectations have been set. I personally think counselling, interacting with peers and advice to parents could have prevented this. Does your child have no value without a medical seat? Does her entire self worth have to rely on

Becoming a doctor ? Go tell them that you love them and that their value does not rely on a college seat. As long as we have to deal with NEET, make sure you present other options to them, that they can consider. Stop burdening them with the weight of your expectations. #NEET
