    First of all, congratulations Mandeep for your score. According to your score, you would get admission in many good engineering colleges except IIT. I would not suggest you to take a one year drop only for IITJEE as in the long run, the college matters less. It's your hard work which matters the most. Also, with the growing competition, there's a fair chance of not getting an IIT next year and regretting the loss. Though, if you are confident enough to work hard and get an IIT next year, be confident and go on. All the best!

    If you are confident and have believe in yourself, then you can go for one year drop.

    I won't suggest you to drop a year as there are very low chances of getting into good colleges after dropping a year.

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.
