I got a score of 430 in neet ug 2021. This was my 2nd drop. I am from General category maharashtra. It is difficult for me to get mbbs, bams or dental college with those marks. I don't want to drop again. I can't afford private college. I am very depressed. I feel worthless. What should I do?

hello aspirant
Firstly you do not need to be depressed because you are one of those who has a lot of courage to take a drop year and give an another shot. Not many people have that amount of dedication and determination to read the same syllabus for more than 2 years now. so don't be disheartened as this is not the end to your career. Always have an optimistic outlook as there are hundreds of doors out there.
Now talking about your marks you can try and apply in government BAMS college as viewing the previous years cutoff the minimum marks for government BAMS college is 420+ for general category students

Now talking about
Hope you are doing well.
So as it was your 2nd drop I will not suggest you to drop once again, however if you only see yourself as a doctor you can give it a try again, it's your personal choice. If it was your only dream you should do it once again with full efforts this time.
If you don't want to drop again, there are many other career options in the field of biology. You can go for that, here is a link to check them:

Also if you want to do Bams or Bhms the fees for private colleges is affordable. It is not as much costly as Mbbs or Bds. You can check that too, here is a link

So you decide yourself what you want to do and no need to worry about as one exam can't decide your worth.
Thanks and regards
Dear applicant since you have already dropped a year and prepared for NEET but cannot make it this time too, there is nothing to be depressed. Because of many reasons people can't afford private colleges but you can do one thing, you can go for some equivalent courses like B.Pharma which will be a 4 years technical course with job assurance or B.Optometry or other health science courses. There are several other ways to make a bright career than MBBS, if you crack MHT CET examination with a good rank then you can get goverment colleges in Maharashtra (B.Pharm) or if you get private colleges then also it's affordable around 4-5 Lakhs in 4 years. Use our NEET UG college predictor to know your best options based on your rank
