Exam

If you belong to the general category then you need to score a minimum of 250 marks to get admission in SPA or NITs.

If you have confidence that you could prepare well and qualify for SAT and JEE as well with good scores, only then choose dropping a year as if you don't get desired results after an year you'll be frustrated. So think wisely before you make a decision. Or else, there are many good private colleges

Well, getting any NIT or IIIT is quite tough. In very rare case, you can get admission here, but from this year, things have changed. As government declared that no seats will remain vacant, you may probably get any IIITs.

It will be too early to predict the ranks, but in general, your general category rank will be around 3-4 lakhs.
