Financial background doesn't matter alot in college but as the question sounds you are talking about the money spend on coaching and staying in different city. Let me clear one thing JEE Mains is not a high profile examination it just tests the basic knowledge of the candidate but Jee advance is a bit different examination. As far as Jee Mains is concerned self study and a person who can solve your problems is the utmost requirement to crack JEE with a good rank. Taking drop is a good idea if you are determine and you believe that you can perform well if you appear twice more in Jee. As NTA is going to conduct Jee Mains twice I think that drop will be totally ok if you are not getting any college in your first Jee. In my views if your financial condition is not too good just don't go away from your home town and join any good coaching near to your home or take any DLP from good institute.

Hello Gunjan,

This is a very subjective question and my opinion may vary from others or you. See first you need to take into consideration your inclinations for engunengine and be sure that it is what you want to do.

Taking government college would definitely be more pocket friendly and will provide quality education that. Expensive private institutions.

If you prefer taking a drop, it's a good option, you can take it .But I would say prefer self study and test series. Coachings usually take up a lot of unjust fee. You can take distance packages though. And if you can score better the next year in jee you can apply for scholarships.

Else you can take up b.tech from central university like university of Allahabad. Which is a subsidised college where tution fee is not more than two thousand rupees per annum and hostels are subsidized too.

All in all, look for the alternatives and think properly before you make up your mind .

Have a bright future.
