Arpita, stop misleading students. Rather than saying you should not go for this and this course you can simply tell them the disadvantages as well as advantages, and should completely leave it to them. Just for the sake of making a video don't mislead students. Being a youtuber does not mean you are always on point

If I were at your place, I'd have taken enormous courage and would've said no to neet. Trust me it'd be worth it.

I'm pursuing B.A. English ( Sol Du ). when I was in 10th I became poor at Mathematics, science and Worst Indian politics and I had no other option to choose in Intermediate. At that time I had only interest in English, later after 10th I started speaking practice and I did it. I wanted to do job due to financial issues I thought I would pursue by distance and I found English easy for me to write in exams, and. more I had no other ways left. I took English honours, I'm not interested in Competitive exams. My dream is different and course is different. But it is said that do what you like ❤ I like English language and literature by reading novel we can change our nation and this world.

Your language skills will still increase nonetheless. My grammar was somewhat fine when I was in school provided the fact I used to top English every time and that was the only paper I used to top. I was also a favourite of my English teachers. However, having English as my second language, my spoken English wasn't that good. Went for English and by the end of my graduation course, my teachers presented me as an example to my juniors who came from a similar background and believe that they'll never be able to speak English. Then again, almost 70% of my postgraduation classmates can't speak English at all.
