I got low marks in JEE Mains. Should I drop this year or take admission in a local college nearby and prepare for GATE?

If you have the will you should surely drop this year. Join any reputed coaching institute and study throughout the year sincerely. You will surely get into good college In my opinion a college is good not because of its infrastructure,Placement ,Teachers but because of the qualities of student stud

It's totally depends on you. If you have enough confidence that you will crack next year JEE then it's better to drop and prepare yourself for JEE Mains 2017. Otherwise taking admission in local institute will not assure you that you will get a job or not. So it's better to do hard work this year fo
