Dear candidate, it all depends on your hard work. Many students take drop, without any past preparation for JEE and do well in JEE Main and Advanced. 8-10 hours of regular study can make you do well in JEE Advanced. Ask yourself, can you study PCM and practice competitive questions for so much time. Try to do those questions first. If you can, then you should surely go for drop. Time Management is the key to success. Attempting maximum questions with correct answers in limited time. Some books like NCERT, HC Verma, MS Chauhan, OP Tandon, JD Lee, RD Sharma will help a lot. After completing topics, do not forget to revise. Do attempt previous years question papers and give mock tests. There is a pattern observed of maximum questions being asked from a particular topic in different subjects.

Dear Aspirant,

I don't think taking a drop year is a wise decision unless you are damn sure that you will crack this exam anyhow. You need to know your capabilities. Studying for board exams might help you qualify JEE Mains but in that too you will face difficulty. JEE requires it's own preparation. You can take a drop year and join a coaching institute to be regular because self study after a point becomes boring and exhausting. You will tend to loose your focus. You will be on a routine if you join a coaching institute. Think about it thrice. Discuss with your parents and mentors about this decision. You need to stay strong and consistent and positive. Many students crack JEE by dropping for one year but many don't. Do a little self introspection.

Hope this Helps!
Good Luck
