Seeing the COVID-19 situation in the country, 75% eligibility criteria in class 12 Board exams may not be required for JEE 2022

It's absolutely fine to drop a year for the JEE after 12th. Many students whose preparation didn't go well in class 12 often drop a year to crack the JEE exam.

Is dropping a year a good option for JEE?

:   If you want to take admission in best engineering institutes like IITs, NITs or IIITs and your first JEE attempt was not good, then dropping a year is a good option for JEE.

Some motivational tips for JEE droppers :

Repeating a year for JEE preparation is not a waste of time if you are determined to achieve your goal. You should have a will to study the same books, go through the same questions again and again.

Dropping a year is a difficult decision but it will take you to your dreams and make your parents proud. If you give your best, you will always feel confident whether you are selected in JEE or not.

Stay happy and excited. Don’t let the fact that you are a so-called repeater affect you much. A happy mind without any baggage will tend to focus more on studies than the one with loneliness and inferiority all around grasping you.

Don’t go hard on yourself. Push yourself out of your comfort zone but only to an extent where it doesn’t become a burden. Don’t try to become someone that you are not.

Remain calm when you are not able to understand any topic or your marks in tests do not reflect the hard work you put in. Eventually it will.

Hope this will be helpful.

ALL THE BEST.

Hi Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great as per the question asked by you yes you can certainly crack J.E.E MAINS by taking a year gap as it totally depends upon you that you are pursuing or spending time in studies if you work hard and study proper by giving each and equal time to each and every subjects then you can easily qualify the exams. I would like to suggest you to give mock daily as it will create a habit of giving mocks and time limit.

Hope you found this answer useful.Stay motivated stay positive.
