    No why you loose one year of your life. Any exams should be prepared in one month and take up further studies immediately. One gap is not good in your resume and also this will make you lazy

    As such during 12th; you would be having lots of stress of exams. You have to score good marks in board as well.
    So It's better to drop a year after 12th, if you aren't getting admission to area of interest.

    drop out is not a better idea. bcz for this yu have to wait one year and don't have surity that after dropping out you get great college after one year.
    bro according to me do b.tech from any college and search for good m.tech college which gives you greater scope in future or you can also opt for mba I.t. now a days with a faster changing world this course have greater scope than any other field.

    No.Instead you should join some course or 1st yr BSc in something and side by side prepare for exam.If you are joining a class for exam be sure that it is near to your house and you get ample of time for self study.Remember self study is the most important thing.If you are dropping be sure you succeed and don't be distracted at all.All the best.

    if you are able to concentrate full time to your study Rather than wandering in city and have a hard wish to score a good rank than drop is best
    but you also have to discuss it with your parents as well your teachers
    and don't loose your confidence when studying any subject make it interesting take more knowledge from internet

Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school.
