You should ask this question to yourself if you are ready to give it all in your next year, sure go for a drop because you know yourself best and if you think you'll not give your best then take admission this year itself.
All the best. -
I would suggest you take admission in colleges like deemed universities because your marks in JEE Mains aren't good and if you want to drop a year ask yourself that whether you are ready to put all in or not.

I think you should continue and get into a private college of you are willing to do hard work in the future, because opportunities in private colleges have to be found yourself.

Hi Amrendra,
Don't be upset your rank, you can join any good private college in your rank. Why you should drop a year? A year gap is very difficult so better is you join any good private college.
All the best.

Honestly, going for CSE at Chandigarh University with your score sounds like a solid choice.
