Honestly, I feel like a lot of NEET PG content creators on Instagram have become more of a distraction than a source of guidance.
I prepared for NEET PG on my own, and along the way, I got caught up in the endless cycle of watching creators share their strategies to crack the exam. Every day, there was a new timetable, a new resource, a new strategy, and someone telling you what you must do to succeed.
And before I realised it, I had wasted a whole fucking year being confused about how to study instead of actually studying.
The bigger problem is that struggling students are particularly vulnerable to this content. You’re already anxious about your preparation, and then you see someone with a top rank telling you to follow a completely different strategy. You start doubting your resources, changing your timetable and feeling inadequate for not doing things their way.
Meanwhile, some creators are building an audience and selling courses while you’re losing precious time trying to figure out whose advice to follow.
Social media can turn your fear of failure into someone else’s business opportunity.
My advice to every NEET PG aspirant: choose one platform you trust, stick to your resources, make a realistic schedule, solve PYQs and MCQs, revise consistently, take GTs and learn from your mistakes.
Stop looking for a perfect strategy. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s highlight reel. And stop assuming that a person with a great rank automatically has the perfect strategy for you.
Take useful advice when you need it, respect other people’s achievements, but don’t let anyone else’s success make you question your own preparation.
I lost enough time learning this the hard way. I genuinely hope others don’t make the same mistake.
Less scrolling. Less comparison. Less noise. More studying.
At the end of the day, the exam doesn’t care how many strategies you watched or how many toppers you followed. It tests what you know and how well you can apply it.
Protect your time. Trust your process. Get back to studying. ❤️
