If you've taken two years of drop for preparation, with the first year being self-study and the second year with coaching, handling the gap certificate situation requires careful planning.

Since your coaching is offering a gap certificate for the second year, you could use that as valid proof for one year. However, for the first year, where you self-studied, you'll need to ensure that you account for this gap responsibly. You can apply for a gap certificate through the court for the first year. A gap certificate is a legal document that justifies the reason for a break in your academic progression.

In most cases, universities and institutions accept gap certificates to clarify any breaks in education. By obtaining a court-issued gap certificate for the first year and using the coaching's certificate for the second year, you'll have documented both years of gap properly.

Make sure to clearly state your reasons for the gap in the court affidavit, such as competitive exam preparation. Having two gap certificates—one from the court and one from coaching—should provide adequate proof of your academic gap, ensuring transparency and compliance with the admission process.

hope this helps you!!
