Hello student

In my opinion you should take admission in any good College and start your preparation for gate. It's not fair to take a drop and repeat 12th standard, so go ahead in your career.

All the best!!

Dear aspirant it all depends upon you whether you can crack GATE or not and also whether you can improve 12th standard marks or not.In any of the decision you should be focused and disciplined only then you can succeed in achieving your goals.So,please take decision based on your capabilities.Personally,i would recommend to start your engineering and don't take a drop.You can also improve 12th percentage during college year if you want.So,a one year drop is never suggested.Rest depends upon you.

Thanks.
