As per my knowledge, getting in with a dual degree course and then shifting of branch totally depends upon what cgpa you achieve in the end of first year. Bits especially has a particular cgpa which you should secure in order to do so. If you truly feel that taking a year drop will help you do better results next year then i think you should do so. But then things won't be guaranteed. The best that you can do is look for other colleges that have a guaranteed seat for you.  Else if you are 100 percent sure that you can achieve an incredible gpa then bits is great.

Dear Utkarsh,

If you really think that by dropping a year you are surely going to be able to get good score then go for it. But, remember if you are not confident and dedicated enough then please don't waste your time. I also dropped one year but was not able to get good score in JEE Mains in my next trial, as i had hoped. So, ultimately i took the best college available to me according to by eligibility and i think it is alright till now. 

If i were you I would have joined the BITS Dual Degree Program or Simply the BITS BTECH course.

I hope i was able to help.
