Without generalisation i am just keeping some facts infront of you
I have almost 5 friends who are going to drop this year too and this is third time for them.
There are 6 to 7 friends i know they are cracking neet18 after their 2years drop
I was a repeater of one year before i cracked neet 17
And there were some of my friends who cracked the medical after passing from school.
All the abovementioned scenario is the image of this competitive exam.
I have seen guys getting admission in a medical college after 4 years of they passed 12. Yes it is true. And motivating indeed.
And some guys take deciscion of quiting just after one attempt. The circumstance around an aspirant plays a great role in this cases. Like in my case i got a lot of support from my parents,close persons. That helped me a lot to keep myself in a positive vibe all the time.
So on short, if a person keep his or her eyes focused just on the goal , do sufficient hard work he or she will must win the game.
Rest of all, we have to believe in God. God always do favour for the deserved one. 🙂
