i will be joining nit in august first year can i leave nit in January midway course to prepare for jee advanced

Yes, you can leave NIT midway in January if you choose to, but there are some important points to consider before making that decision:

1. Official Process & Consequences

• Most NITs allow students to withdraw, but you’ll need to follow proper procedure (submit a withdrawal form, clear dues, etc.).

• Refund policies vary , and you might not get your full fees back, especially after one semester.

• Some NITs might mark your academic record with “withdrawn” or similar; it's not usually a big issue, but something to be aware of.

2. JEE Advanced Eligibility

• You can attempt JEE Advanced only twice in two consecutive years after Class 12. So, if you passed 12th in 2024, your last chance is in 2025.

3. Have a Clear Plan

• If you're confident that with full-time prep you can crack JEE Advanced and get into an IIT, then yes, you can leave.

• But don’t take the decision in a rush or out of fear. NITs are excellent institutions too. Make sure your goal is clear.

Suggestion:

• You could start at NIT in August , see how it feels, and prepare alongside.

• If by December you feel strongly that you need full-time prep, then withdraw officially in January.
