    Yes you should drop a year for preparation of competitive exams. But make sure not to drop another year also. In this one year fully devote yourself to studies and solve as many mcqs as possible. Concentrate more on tough and important topics and tries to clear all your doubts. Don't worry with your consistent study and hardwork you can easily clear any competitive exam. And best of luck for your future.

    if u get any good branch (especially cs)., go for it and prepare yourself in the college itself.next year u can again give competitive exams with more abilities.sitting at home would only create stress and pressure for the nxt year and probably u can't do well the nxt year.rest all on u.all the best.!!

    if you have dream college then you may have to do so. but if you are wishing a wonderful course then it may be available somewhere else. if can in the top ten of your field then companies will come in search of you. if you are planning on some courses which you cannot get into without entrance exams then you are forced to crack the entrance.

    to have drop after 12th is advisable only if you want to pursue medical stream. otherwise it is not advisable. it is taken very negatively particularly for management jobs. decide very carefully.

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.
