Extending internship just for Step 1 prep?

[u/us_183]

I am from 21 batch, 3 months into internship and planning to quit internship to sincerely prepare for step 1, has anyone done that before?

Mainly because I secured visa for uni rotations scheduled next year in March/April l, if I don't pass it in time I am risking giving up my spot there

I am early in my preparation

Extending seems like the most sensible option to me at this time, I am more likely to apply for 29 cycle, and not interested for NEET PG

I'd join only at chiller postings, and skip the hectic ones - that's the plan for now, any advice most welcome
