Hi,

You have a good record of marks which shows that you are a hardworking student. Also, the percentile that you scored is good. You can take a drop and work hard and take up the JEE 2023 exams. You should aim for IITs. If you can manage to score 89 percentile with your board exams, you can also manage to score a better percentile next year and also prepare for JEE advance exam. The main thing is consistency. If you are consistent throughout your drop year, you will surely crack the exam.

Moving on to the next part of your question. If you want to take up a college and go this year, it is okay. If you can manage both JEE and College, then you can go for it. Otherwise, if you want to take up a college and study, it will be your decision.

In my opinion, you should try one more year for better college options. If you are ambitious enough you will be able to do it. Rest is your choice.
