Hello!

You are permitted to do so. But there would be burden on you to study for the college in which you have admitted yourself and also for JEE 2021. You also would need to be paying fees at the college joined for this year.

If not wrong, when asked about the one year gap after your boards in your further career, the claiming of you being joined in one college and then in the other the next year wouldn't sound that good. It is also a very long process so as to complete the admission and also attain back the submitted certificates in the college as the college does not want to lose the candidate.

You can better be home and prepare for JEE 2021, claiming it to be a preparation break or take an admission this year and continue until you complete your graduation.

Hope this helps you to make your decision wisely. All the best

Hello Aspirant!

According to the rules set by the NTA, a candidate can appear twice a year for the JEE Mains in three consecutive years from the year of passing in their class 12 exams.
Therefore, going by that rule, you can sit for the JEE Mains 2021.
There won't be any issue if you take admission through JEE Mains this year. You can reappear for the exam next year too.

Hello,
As you have appeared for your class 12 boards this year, so you can appear for JEE Mains in the year 2021 and 2022. Also you can appear for JEE Advanced for the year 2021.
As you will be taking admission into engineering college this year, and appearing for JEE mains again in 2021, then you can change your college,.but please note that, you need to again start from your first year engineering if you change college in 2021.
Also, you. Need to prepare for JEE Mains along with your college studies. This takes a lots of effort. Please stay motivated and stay healthy. All the best.

Yes you can get into an engineering college this year and can also apply for jee the next year and finding a better option you can change the college. But i would suggest you to go either with engineering or with dropping this year because this way you will have a better focus over one thing rather than floating.
