    In placements the mncs wants you to be a fresher not a dropper it seems to be a good thing to take a pause of a year for competitive but nothing ends up so your grade may improve a bit but that with a lot of hard work.

    Dekh bhai bitter truth koi nai bolta. Agar tujhme iit mein jane ki capability hoti toh isi baar tera ho jata. Mai toh kahunga bhai state board k competitions ki tyari kar agar achche se padha hoga 12th mein toh unme se koi toh nikal hi jaega. Baki teri marzi agar tujhe apna EK SAAL waste karna hai toh. All The Best for that.
    Main toh yahi kahunga time bahut precious chiz hai use it wisely.

    yes it can be beneficial
    but initially you have to set your goal,means in which institute you want to take admission, which course you want to choose, last year's cutoff list of that institute. then according to that you can start preparations for competitive exam.

    According to my experience it was horrible to drop one more year. That fear of not getting any NIT or IIT will never let you sleep, pressure of being successful will keep pushing you forward. Expectation of people will be high from you.
    But in the end, you made into some iit's or not doesn't matter, what you will feel inside is that you're changed. You will become a better and stronger person, who can face much more problems and difficulties that you couldn't face before in your life. You will become productive in your daily life. And also what if you made it to the IIT's that will be a plus point on your achievements that you will made

    if 2 years of work is not done in those two years then how could you expect that it can be done in one year. for medical it may b beneficial but for engineering it is beneficial to some extent.

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.
