Comprehensive Guide: IIT's | NIT's | IIIT's
Hi Anku, yes many people take 2nd drop for jee mains. Mainly because they don't have better options and believe they can do far better in another attempt.
It's normal. But I would personally say that if you are absolutely sure that another year would improve your performance then take drop.
If you are absolutely confident, then i would say think about it , discuss with your family and friends and then decide.
Hope this helps. Regards

Yes many take drop.
But a sincere advice is you should work really hard to get into nits or top IIITs.
Sometimes luck doesn't favour but hard work never fails so practice is the key to achieve success
So don't even waste time and start clearing your concepts and do as many mocks as possible
You have time to study every concept

Use the JEE Main 2026 Rank Predictor to estimate your expected rank based on your scores or percentile and plan your college options smartly.
Dear candidate,
Typically, students think that by dropping a year they will be able to study harder for the next one year, get a better branch or a better ranking IIT. To be able to take an informed decision, you should be aware of the consequences of your decision.
Risks you take by opting for a Second Attempt
Well to be Frank even for Jee advanced level, dropping ONE year is more than sufficient. Dropping 1 year or even 2 years is not sujastable because IIT is NOT Everything. But if you really want to get into an IIT then you definitely can.
Hope I answer your question and it's helpful.
All the best!
