It isn't advisable to drop 2 years for neet/jEE preparation.
Since for JEE , you have any 3 attempt, irrespective of that you have appeared for JEE or not your chances will be counted.
For JEE advance you have only 2 attempt.
Here attempt is counted w.r.t your class 12 boards qualifying year.
Like a candidate who have qualified class 12 before 2018 are not eligible for JEE advance 2020.
Similarly for NEET you have 4 chances.
So, do your preparation from class 11 onwards so that there is no need to drop years for JEE/neet after class 12.
Hello Nithish,
It isn't advisable to drop 2 years after 12th for NEET/JEE but I would say to do so only if you feel confident enough to get a seat in NIT's or maybe IIT's or a good medical college. You should try again for NEET/JEE if you can. Also it is okay to join B.SC or Law courses after a 2 year drop. You also have good marks in 12th, you might be able to get in DU too. There are no consequences for a 2 year drop other than your batchmates get a job before you.
Hope this helps.
