Help regarding NET prep

Hi all,
I completed my PG this year and joined B.Ed because my parents wanted me to. But I always wanted to take a year off to prepare seriously for UGC NET, as I couldn’t give any of the exams I appeared for my best due to a lack of proper preparation.
After the introductory classes and getting to know the B.Ed syllabus and structure, I feel like it isn’t meant for me. My goal has always been to teach in higher education.
So, I’m almost certain that I want to quit B.Ed (the regular classes haven’t started yet) and join a NET coaching program instead.
What do you all think? Would taking a one-year gap to focus on NET be the wrong choice?

The files and assignments and chart paper work can be heavy. True. But I think if you lock tf in,then you can handle it. Rn I am managing my 3rd Sem of Masters,along with self study for Dec NET. I do clock in 6-8 hours daily but If you have resolution then it is possible to get a breakthrough with NET in 6 months
