Did you know?

In the last 5 years, around 1.2–1.5 lakh students from Jharkhand appeared for NEET but nearly 35–45% fail to qualify every year.

Even among those who qualify, limited MBBS seats mean thousands still miss out. That’s the reality, clearing NEET isn’t enough, and relying on just one exam can be risky.

That’s why smart students plan backup career paths in healthcare and allied fields alongside their preparation. In fact, 17% of aspirants consult CollegeVidya advisors to explore UGC-approved online degrees, so their future doesn’t depend on just one result
