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.

Overall, WBJEE is considered moderately tough. Level of syllabus is similar to 12th standard qualifying exam. Therefore, students who are well prepared for their board exams are likely to score well in WBJEE.

No, there is no provision for conducting WBJEE twice a year. WBJEEB has always conducted WBJEE as an annual one day examination. If there is any change in exam pattern, it will be announced online.
