If you are very much sure that you will surely clear JEE advance in the next attempt then only you can start thinking about dropping a year.
You have finally got your score of JEE Advanced in your hand, so, you have to decide what to do next. Your score is low or below your expectation so, you have to figure out whether to try one more time or just check other options.
So here in this article, I will give you an overview of the options you should consider if your score of JEE Advanced is low:
Whether to drop a year or not
Dropping a whole year is a big decision and you should consider all aspects before doing it because it may give you disappointment in the future. First, you should take the guidance of your trusted elders about dropping a year. I would say talk to that person who has experience in it. Your personal passion will also play an important role here if you are very much sure that you will surely clear JEE Advanced in the next attempt then only you can start thinking about dropping a year. If you do not trust yourself that, you can clear JEE advance in next attempt then review your mind. There are so many other colleges are also present in India in which you will surely try but if you are desperately wanted to get admission in IIT then you should drop a year and devote all your energy in studies.
