Hello P kahre,

Well this is a tough question which solely depends on your personal factors.
But there are many cases where the students dropped a year again and scored less than the previously scored score .
And also there are the cases where students worked more harder and cleared the advance.

So ,if you cleared ,it will be pretty good
And if didn't , then you will be behind 1 year in your race and can end up in a bad situation.

So chose wisely considering your mental and physical factors.

Thank you.

Hey P Khare,
I would strongly recommend you to study for the advance because you never know how your luck is with you and you can put in all your hard works and give your best. And maybe you can crack the Advance with good marks as well.

All the best buddy :)

I think you should prepare for Jee advance and wait till the counselling starts for Jee main, by this you will be even at safe side, and if you are already preparing for jee advanced, then it would be easier to crack it.

All the best.

Definitely for jee advance.

Taking drop for 1 year and then giving up at last moment is not a good combination. Jee main marks won't decide your fate but jee advance marks do!

I know many, who screwed in jee main but came up with a flying color in jee advance. Hope for the Best. Good Luck
