Exploitation of students, killing of dreams

I spent two long, excruciating, almost dehumanizing years preparing for NEET-UG aspirant. Why I was preparing for NEET is a whole another issue that needs to be addressed as well. Unfortunately, my plan for my life and my parent's plan for my life happened to be poles apart. I had decided on opting Arts, score excellently in boards and then study in some elite university like Oxford. My parents decided that I'll study Science first, do MBBS, and then follow my 'hobby' like a part-time job.

So my mother and I moved to Surat (city) and lived in a rented apartment since there is no good coaching centre in my T/O, which is a government township. Surat is 80 kms from township.

And this is where I started to know the reality of the system. No one could ever imagine how I spent these two years, shutting out the thousands and thousands of stories and millions of characters in my mind. Even while studying human heart, and Newton's Laws of Motions, I saw my characters. They haunted me. But I went through it only because my father promised me that he will let me persuade Arts if I manage to bring a good score in NEET. I joined a coaching institute in 2024. And ever since then, NEET has been a mess for three consecutive years.
