If you are willing to struggle hard for a few months then you can attempt an exam in the upcoming month of May. For this, be planned and have a proper study plan. If you are good with your study plan then you might easily crack your exam.

Whether to drop a year or not?

Actually, in my opinion, it depends on your state of mind and strategy over the subject. If you are good with your subject, you can drop a year and can prepare better for the upcoming examination. Moreover, you have confidence in you and also should have a proper study plan, if necessary you must have good coaching. If you don’t want to join in any other department other than engineering then you can drop a year ahead. Really if you want to drop a year for WBJEE preparation, then you should try to target the best score and also should have a focus on remaining examinations like JEE Mains, BITSAT, SRM, etc., also you should have determination, dedication towards the examination. If you want to drop a year, you should maintain your spirit till the end of the examination. At last, you should not think that I have wasted a year. Finally, you should say that I have got a good score and I utilized this year without wasting it.
