Hello,
If you are a good student, with decent 12th score, and good academic background, it is not going to be difficult. It might be difficult in the beginning, but later it is going to get easy. If engineering is you passion, interest, then choose engineering. If you are good, you can definitely succeed. If engineering is not your primary interest, then mention it in the comments section to get a definite answer.
Good luck!

I am aslo concerned about Engineering.If Engineering is not my interest what are the best courses to study even after having gap of 2 years after 12th? I studied PCMB in 12th with 95%. and I am a student of Tamil Nadu.

Hello Nitish,
Obviously, you can take admission in engineering. But you should be eligible for the JEE through which maximum college takes students. In JEE, your maximum age can be 24. If you belongs to SC/ST/PWD then you have a relaxation of 5 years. Along with age you should have minimum 75% in 12th.
Problems you may face is of your academics.
Good luck

Hi,

You can definitely study Engineering after 2 years of gap, but the problems that you will face will be at the time of placements, because at that time the companies that will come for placement will definitely ask a question regarding your 2delay which you should be answerable with a valid and convincing reason.

I wish you best of Luck

Thank You
