my jee advance 2026 rank in gen pwd candidate for preparatory cource is 139 what is your advice for taking admission for preparatory cource or not or taking drop for this year 2026

Hello,

If you get a seat through the IIT preparatory course , I would generally suggest taking it rather than dropping a year.

A drop year always comes with uncertainty. Even if you prepare well, there's no guarantee that your rank will improve enough next year. On the other hand, the preparatory course gives you a pathway to join an IIT, provided you complete the course successfully.

With a Gen-PwD preparatory rank of 139 , it's definitely worth participating in the counselling process and exploring the preparatory seat option.

So, unless you are very confident that you can achieve a much better result next year, I would lean towards the preparatory course if you get the opportunity.

Hope it helps. All the best.
