Dear Aspirant,

It all depends on your level of motivation band your desire to study in a better college. However, the situation right now is going to be as it is even the year 2021 until the corona virus vaccine arrives in our country which is both effective and produced in mass quantity. Until then, it is highly unlikely that the situation is going to be any better as a normal year should be.

As you have already dropped a year, and so dropping another year can be a little dicey for you. If you perform well then you can get admission in a better college than this year. However, if your performance is not significantly better or is poorer, then you will have to face the exact problem that you are facing right now.

Let me inform you a negative aspect of dropping two years, especially for we engineering aspirants. Most of the placement companies that visit any government Institute do not usually hire students who have dropped two years. It's because they give importance to hiring fresher candidates. Some MNCs like Vedanta has a strict rule against hiring 2 year dropper candidates. This can be some problem.

I know this because one of my friends dropped two years for preparing medical and when she failed in NEET, she joined a government engineering college. There the rule was that the 2 year dropper were not hired by placement companies. But, there is no such restriction in IT sector and the computer science engineering department.

With 88 percentile in JEE MAINS, your rank is probably close to 1,30,000. At this rank of yours, you probably will get admission in some branch of the North East NITs. Furthermore, you have great chances of getting admission in the best state government engineering colleges. In my opinion, you should join this year in a good state government engineering college ( you can also simultaneously prepare for jee Mains 2021). This is a good plan I reckon.

This shall give you the list of colleges that you have great chances of getting admission in based on the percentile that you have achieved. Good luck in future endeavors.

Dear student,
According to me it would be a good choice take 2nd drop, don't consider only yourself to be in this situation,many students all over the country are facing the same problem, some had financial problems while some had health issues. This, year a lot of students will take a drop, and so can you. Give one more chance to yourself this year and work really hard, this is your last chance. Make the most of this opportunity.
