    No it is completely useless even if you are confidant enough that you can crack it than also it is not that worthy because people who even have good knowledge are sometimes not able to crack due to certain circumstances and one of it might can be problem with luck , your stars. so i recommend you not to drop a year. Even it counts further during job it pressurize the interview team to think upon your case because "droppers" are called "droppers " though how much intelligent they be. as well you can leave one year after your graduation but not before it. study hard! All The Best.

    If Your an average student do not consider this as your option but if Your above average then u can definitely go for a drop year following are the constructive studies u can go for CS/CMA/CA and by above average I mean above 85%. Drop year is not healthy but constructive activity in a drop year is
    good enough to cover it .Drop is never beneficial but it is better than a confused career decision.

    it completely depends upon your attitude and determination to use the time judiciously, however you can also join any course after 12th without wasting one year and can achieve anything you want as life is full of opportunities and excitements.

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.
