My Daughter Wants to be a Doctor and it's a Challenge to Me!

Great, isn't it ? But it is as good as climbing the Everest to me. She wrote her NEET, National Eligibility and Entrance Test on May 5 last. The results were declared on June 6. She has qualified for appearing in the counseling process, which may start in the last week of June. If she comes out successful through the counseling, her name may appear in the state merit list. Thereafter, she will have to register herself for what we call here choice filling of medical colleges. If she is lucky, a seat may be allotted to her, which we must go and grab by going to the college and pay the requires fees for admission. Until then nothing seems to be sure and certain. And there is the fees part, which I don't know how I will meet. Fees in government colleges are subsidized by the government but in private medical colleges fees are enormous. About 700,000 students have qualified in the test and there are less than 100,00 seats in the medical colleges in India. Imagine, how many are going to be disappointed! I read an article in The Times of India about studies for being a doctor in USA. The process seems simpler there. Tell us how it is in your country? Meanwhile, I am studying the many steps of counseling and documents (about a dozen of them) to be readied before the counseling starts!
