Hello,

Of course you can if you are really confident of it., mentally strong,sure about yourself that you will definitely do well.

But let me warn you that taking a 2 year gap is not a common thing prevalent among students so even if you succeed you might be questioned about it espicially during placement

Dropping two year for Jee main is not a good decision.

This step have lots of disadvantages:

1. You are two year lag behind your schoolmates.

2.Most of Companies allow 1 year drop with specific reason but generally not consider good if candidate have drop of more than one year.

3.Mentale pressure from society/ parents/ overthinking can harm your performance .

Candidate have other options rather than dropping two years for JEE main exam.


Candidate can take admission in normal institution and prepare for GATE in which paper is comparatively easier than Jee main . With help of Gate exam candidate can do masters from IIT,NIT and various premier institutions.

Candidate can do his/her engineering good with good CGPA and directly go for placement,and apply for placement through various platforms such as AMCAT,FIRSTNAUKRI.COM,etc.
