Hey Anusha.
It's good to know that now you're determined to prepare well for CLAT. But a better option than taking a Gap year is to join a college and simultaneously prepare for CLAT. There are many people who join a college, even a law college or maybe pursue a BA or any other graduation course and then prepare for CLAT. Because in case things are not as favourable the next year then they do have a back up option and 1 year also is saved. Now this also depends on what other options you have. If You are getting admission in any decent law college or any good college for BA or any such graduation degree you can go for that and prepare for CLAT simultaneously. There are many people who've cleared CLAT in the second attempt after joining a middle NLU/ other decent law college and preparing. So if you have a good backup option like this only then, you should go for preparing simultaneously. If you don't then you can consider a drop.

ThankYou!!.... presently I have GBU Noida, Allahabad university and IPU university as options. Should I consider any of these options? Or any more which u would like to recommend??...or should I go for a drop instead?.

Colleges under IPU like VIPS, USLLS are good. If you can get these you should go for these. I personally don't have much idea about the other 2 that you've mentioned. Talking to a senior or someone who is studying there or has studied there would be a good option to find out.
I WANT TO KNOW THAT I HAVE NIMS JAIPUR,LLOYD,IMS NOIDA,NMIMS.ASIAN LAW COLLEGE AS OPTION SHOULD I GO WITH IT OR TAKE A ONE YEAR DROP?? SUKRITI PORWAL
