    The minimum eligibility for Govt. Jobs is Under Graduation (B.tech or 3 year degree). There are very less jobs that asks 12th as Eligibility like Army , Navy , Air Force. So don't drop after 12th . Take coaching after Graduation . it ll help u alot. If u still didn't get a Govt. then Go for POST GRADUATION after your Govt. Job Trials .

    No,it was not so beneficial for us because when we spend drop years money as donation seat on top private college like ABES for admissions you save year and also safe study gaps, decrease success rate. if you want to drop .So,drop for GATE EXAM to admission in Mtech after Btech.

    Never have a break after your +2. if you're in 11th or 12th at present try to prepare for competitive exams along with your academics. You would probably get support from your parent and teachers as well all is required is your effort and involvement in the preparation of competitive exams.
    Good luck.

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.
