Since we are talking about #NEET exam. This is something I always wanted to share with you. I'm studying medicine (4th year) in Switzerland. We have a similar system here called NC (Numerus Clausus), which serves as an entrance exam #BanNEET

The exam consists of 10 sub-parts wich on the whole take 6h to complete, there is a knowledge part and text-understanding part, which is a bit like a normal exam. But there are also a part called "hose figure", where you have to look at a tube within a box and +
and deduce from which angle it was taken and a part where you have to look at smaller extracts from a picture and figure out which of a the multiple choice answers is part of the original picture
The point is not just testing knowledge but also he ability to think flexibly and durability in applicants for medicine. The test is very hard and considered "untrainable". The question is not whether you learned well enough, but whether you have the capacity to be a doctor
If you think #NEET is hard and irrelevant, I heartily invite you to try this one. The exam here is equally politicized here as NEET. There is a whole industry that sells very expensive "teaching" for NC. Only rich kids can afford that. A course might easily cost lakhs
We have the same arguments of banning the exam because it's unnecessary etc. But the upshot is that all the politicians that speak for banning the exam because it's unfair will do absolutely nothing to help poor students. They will only make you march along them and leave you
in a limbo whether the test happens or not until last minute and then say, sorry that's all we can do. In the end it's up to you whether you pass or not and what becomes of your life. The first year I tried I had no chance, I was nowhere near the cut-off.
Everyone convinced me that I had zero chance without going to one of the very expensive courses, which we couldn't afford. Even my mother wanted to get me into one of them, because she thought that's our only chance.
In a way my situation was similar to the story @Siva_Kartikeyan told about his sister, Gowri akka. I convinced my mother that I didn't need that course, We only bought the books which is already expensive enough and I found some material on the internet
I spent that year studying biology and learned for that test. By the end of the year I passed the exam, with a good margin from the cut-off. If I had given up the first year I wouldn't be where I am now. I understand well the pain of failing an exam that decides about your life
and the struggles of learning with the limited resources you have. But I'm convinced, if I can pass this exam without expensive preparation courses, all of you can pass #NEET too. Stop wasting your precious time waiting for politicians to ban the exam, that won't happen.
What they want is politicizing your struggle not elevating it. At the and of the day it's your life and you have to decide about it, none of the people that trend #BanNEET will do that, only you can. They will trend for two days when a girl commits suicide, that's it
