    Don't drop a year. Instead, opt for a private institute.

    If you are confident that you can score good in competitive exams then you can drop a year.

    Yes you can drop 1 year for preparation but it's very difficult to maintain the zeal for the whole year. It's difficult to be enthusiastic for the whole 1 yr. If you r that much confident that you can do well and can maintain your focus then you can go for it. Otherwise qualifying in 1st attempt is the best option. Good luck.

    In my opinion, "NOT AT ALL" it's only wastage of time. As one can not be sure of it that after dropping a year he/she will definitely get a good job

A gap of 1 to 2 years after 12th can be considered normal. Although the students should be able to address it via the valid documents. The reasons like health, finance, skill development or family are accepted. 

And if the gap after the high school Diploma is beyond 2 years, strong documentation is required to justify the same. The documents like which shows productivity for which an SOP can serve great purposes.

Yes, it should not be hard for you to get admission to the University of Western Australia as an Indian student with 50% in class 12th. However, please note that it does not put you in the top applicants either. The general admission percentage requirement for international students is 50 to 65%.

Look at the other admission requirements - 

  • English proficiency tests with IELTS (bands 6.5) or TOEFL iBT (82+)
  • High school Diploma from a recognised board like CBSE or ICSE etc. 
  • Some course-specific subjects for Engineering programs

Top universities require a minimum of 80-90% in your 12th-grade board exams.

  • Average universities often accept students with 60-75%.
  • For highly competitive courses like Medicine, cut off is usually higher. 
  • Strong SAT/ACT scores can also compensate for a slightly lower board percentage.

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.
