It is so because your years of hard work are going to be judged in just 3 hours. And this is the main catch in the competitive exams.

5. To live life independently

Many students move away from their home to other places for NEET PREPARATION. They start living alone and try to manage everything on their own. The students not only do their study, but also manage their expenses, do their shopping, washes their cloths and manage their food too. So, in this way they learn how to live independently.
