19, general, couldnt crack neet.

Parents are pushing for drop again.

But i want to move on from this. Have given cuet, will be doing bachelors in microbiology probably.

I want job security and money, hence mba. My family is not financially well off at all. So thinking of mba feels like a gamble, because just bsc and msc you cannot earn from.

Another thing is that my extended family has iim grads. Compared to them, I am very stupid. I dont do logical reasoning well, my only strength is memorization, and that too couldnt carry me through neet. My maths was very, very bad in school years. Actually everything was besides english. Only contact I have had with numbers is through physics, which I do okayish in. Leave quantitative aptitude and DILR, even VARC feels hard for me. I just randomly looked through a PYP of CAT and that raised so many alarm bells.

Im kind of dumb and stupid. In an exam where IIT grads sit, what is a person like me to do? Is this even for me? Im not here for consolation, just real advice.

Im lost on what to do.

96/94/x (10th- basic maths)

20F, 2 drops, neet failure, confused on what to do next

i passed 12th in 2024.

2024- 450, 2025- 460, 2026- 550 (started studying in nov 2025 due to health probs) (reneet idk). been in topper batches so parents think i can make it. want me to take partial drop, enroll in local uni for bsc and study again. i dont want to do this anymore and want out. dont want to leave my subjects completely though.

– plan is to do bsc in bio subject then mba, but my maths used to be abhorrent back in school. but i did physics pretty good all these years so it makes me think what if cat is worth a shot? my parents have been through mba tho and they think im not cut out for it at ALL (basically im too dumb for it and my only strength is memorization, where that too couldnt take me through neet)

– second was to do bsc then do msc bioinfo and land some industrial role. had programming back in school and was bad at it too. basically i was bad at everything besides english. but back then i also never tried genuinely so. i cant seem to find anyone whos done it and cant talk to anyone abt it so i have no idea of what salary and sht is actually like. like is it just hype or is there some actual pay out there?

– if i do phd wont do it from india, probably try for scholarships outside. so if theres anything i should keep in mind for that pls tell. also forgot to mention but my family is very unstable financially, i do not have safety nets. ppl who took drops beside me, their fathers are scientist/doctors. i dont have that luxury. i also understand this is why my parents are pushing for mbbs.

is there anything actually outside neet, or am i deluding myself? should i push through this burnout and the disdain i have grown towards class 11th and 12th physics, chemistry, bio and work for neet again? just the thought of it repulses me.

i have also grown to dislike mbbs because of the amount of anguish neet has put me through, but i dont think i actually hate it. i hate the barrier. but i need to look past my repulsion and be realistic.

anyway. please help me.

i understand i probably need career counseling atp, but want to hear your opinions. im tired of mulling over it all in my head with no external voice to reason with. every discussion with parents turns into a fight. they really want me to drop and become a doctor. well, yeah.

thanks
