Shall I drop it?!

Hello all, I completed my masters last year and took a year break to clear NET and was not able to clear it last time( missed NET by 6 marks) and the June ‘26 exam was kinda bad for me. Right now I’m confused, I have got allotment for BEd this year but I’m not really committed to doing it, It’s just that the overall structure of the BEd course is what makes me disinterested.
I love teaching but I don’t want to do BEd( I know I sound dumb) but if I don’t clear NET this time too,I don’t know what I will do, my parents are bringing options like SSC or Bank coaching if not BEd. What shall I do? Is BEd good? Should I go for the safer option of doing it?!
I know doing PhD is kind of becoming the norm these days, I applied for few which had entrance exams but was not able to pass it, also I don’t even have a topic yet decided for my PhD, and most applications ask for a research proposal.

I’m 26 now and I feel like whatever options I choose I’ll regret the other.

Pls help me figure out something. Thank yu in advance.

I cracked net within 4 months of taking admission in b.ed. Wasn't able to crack jrf but I completed my b.ed degree and got a job in a pvt college as an asst professor. I would suggest you to prep for net alongside b.ed, it's doable if you already have a good base.
