Now that NEET rank lists have been released, coaching centres have been receiving enquiries for coaching from repeaters who have failed to make the cut again. Some of the centres had received enquiries even before the rank list was released as the students knew what lay in store for them.
Sanjay Gaglani of Winners Academy said a number of enquiries came from students who had repeated NEET this year. “Some students insist that they want to get into medicine only and so they are keen on taking coaching again. They want to take the exam again even if it means a break of another year,” he said. However, these types of candidates are in the minority, say staff at coaching centres.
Career consultant and educationist Jayaprakash Gandhi said 5% to 10% of students – who were repeaters – have been enquiring about taking NEET again. “Some of these students are also enrolling into science group courses like biology, biotechnology, physics or chemistry and are enrolling for weekend coaching, while a few are opting for a full-year coaching as well,” he said.
While some students who didn’t make it in their first attempt are opting for engineering, there are also candidates who are opting to go with the break-year pattern.
City coaching centres, including Pioneer, Akash and Winners, reported that break-year students, especially from the state board, had managed to double their scores this time compared to their performance last year. “Students who secured marks in the 160-range last year have managed to get 300 and above this time. Those who got less than 200 are planning to take NEET again,” said Gaglani.
Meanwhile, a few schools in districts like Namakkal, Erode and Trichy are also conducting coaching and are trying to attract students who wish to take NEET again for training.
Training centres also say that with the new syllabus kicking in this year, changes are bound to take place after next year’s NEET. While next year’s NEET may be along similar lines, the year following that may see stiff competition as state board students would be preparing with the new syllabus for both Class XI and Class XII that may increase quality output of candidates appearing from state board schools, say experts.

Chennai: Unlike MBBS rank list, there are not many candidates from the previous academic batch on Anna University’s engineering rank list.
“Only one student in the top 10 belonged to previous batch. All others completed their Class XII board exams only this year,” said a senior official from Anna University.
Also, only a handful from previous batches was present in the entire merit list based on which they are admitted to engineering seats through the single-window counselling, the official added.
This indicated that many medical aspirants, who took a break for a year to clear NEET, did not opt for engineering and preferred to attend medical counselling.
