No its not important.I think if you gave an exam and not able to clear it just due 10-20 no. gap only then you should drop a year as you will have a good confidence that you will definitely pass the exam next time means you will have surity but on the other hand if you are not able to clear the exam due 50-60or more than that gap then dont drop a year as it will not going to be satisfactory that whether you will clear it for the next time or not.
Hope that helps you. -

its very wrong thinking that its better to drop for preparation of competitive exams -
That depends on which compititive exam you want to crack. If its Enginneering and Medical, it is advisable not to waste one year. Enginneerin and Medical exams can be qualified with little love for studies in class 11th and 12th.
