    Devoting one full year for competitive exam preparation has its own merits and demerits. Dropping a year means that you will get sufficient amount of time to prepare for competitive exams.

    No its not important.I think if you gave an exam and not able to clear it just due 10-20 no. gap only then you should drop a year as you will have a good confidence that you will definitely pass the exam next time means you will have surity but on the other hand if you are not able to clear the exam due 50-60or more than that gap then dont drop a year as it will not going to be satisfactory that whether you will clear it for the next time or not.
    Hope that helps you.

    It is not good giving a gap in the earlier part of your career. You will have a difficulty, justifying it. In the Interview, the question may arise. So, try to do well within the framework.

    Yes - provided you utilize each and every waking minute for the target which is ahead of you. If dropping is for a purpose, the effort for that purpose should be the fullest Then, you will reach your goal.

    That depends on which compititive exam you want to crack. If its Enginneering and Medical, it is advisable not to waste one year. Enginneerin and Medical exams can be qualified with little love for studies in class 11th and 12th. Exams like IPMAT(Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test) requires some dedicated hardwork which can be done after 12th. All the best !!

    i would suggest you to do a crash course during 12 class . This will not only save your a precious year but also help you to learning and gaining your 12 core subjects related to specific competitive exam with more ease and varied experience.
    This is NEVER a great idea to drop a year only for a competitive exam
    After all it is an world of multitaskers and only these kind of persons are gaining success and reminding of upcoming dangerous intelligent brainers of the near future.
    hope you get your answer.
    good luck
