Dropping a year doesn’t make you sure that you are going to qualify for the exam. Be confident about your decision. If you are confident enough to qualify then go for it. Your education matters more than colleges.

Dropping a year doesn’t make you sure that you are going to qualify for the exam. Be confident about your decision. If you are confident enough to qualify then go for it. Your education matters more than colleges.

You can get the best teachers in a private college and it may be possible that you will get a Government college where teachers are not up to the marks then the college selection decision will fail. So take your decision wisely.

Advantages

  • It will boost your preparation by means of improvement and can fix loopholes too. It may be possible that a student was not able to cover all the topics in a year. So, such students can take a gap.
  • Those who are taking a gap have a targeted future.

Disadvantages

  • You are wasting your time without knowing the consequences.
  • Peer pressure will also affect your performance.
  • At times, you can feel discouraged, depressed, and bored, etc.

Yes, for some of them. Bahra lists scholarships based on JEE Main marks and CLAT rank, along with BUSET, CAT, MAT, and CUET percentile scores. I am not sure about NEET, so confirm that with the admissions office.
