Question:

Should I enrol’ in a dummy school and prepare for NEET and JEE?

Answer:

 

When preparing for the NEET and JEE exams, it’s obvious that you need some extra time to complete the whole syllabus, along with attending the regular school classes. As it gets difficult to manage both academic and competitive classes, students opt for dummy schools, which take care of their attendance needs and other requirements like projects, assignments practicals etc. so that students have enough time to focus completely on their NEET and JEE exams. 

However, it comes with a cost. It hampers your overall development, including emotional and social maturity. Living away from home also makes students homesick. A sense of freedom that comes with living in an uncontrolled environment, makes students resort to bad habits like drinking, smoking, or entertainment (social media, cyber cafe surfing, etc.).

The best approach that one should follow is to attend regular schooling, take online coaching classes along with it, and drop a year if required after the 12th. It will steam off the pressure of delivering the best result in a single attempt and provide you with the time needed for overall development.
