Hello Sir, I am a female student from the OBC-NCL category. I scored 42 percentile in JEE Main 2025. My MHT-CET also did not go well. I passed HSC with the required eligibility marks. I was consistent in studies during Class 11, but I lost focus a few months before the board and entrance exams. Around 70 to 75 percent of my Class 12 syllabus is covered (mostly theory), but I have not done much question practice. I also need to revise the entire Class 11 syllabus and solve JEE previous year questions. I am confused between taking a drop for JEE 2026 or taking admission this year. I prefer a government college because of the scholarship benefits. Please guide me on what would be the right step now. Thank you.

Ans: As an OBC-NCL female student with a 42 percentile in JEE Main 2025 and unsatisfactory MHT-CET performance, admission to top government engineering colleges this year is unlikely. Your partial syllabus coverage and lack of question practice indicate the need for focused preparation. Taking admission this year in a state government or reputed private college with scholarship benefits will ensure you do not lose academic momentum and gain valuable exposure. However, if you are highly motivated, disciplined, and have support, dropping a year to prepare for JEE 2026 can significantly improve your chances of admission to IITs or better NITs. This requires revising Class 11 and 12 syllabi thoroughly, practicing previous years’ questions, and possibly enrolling in coaching. A balanced approach is to secure admission this year while simultaneously preparing for the next JEE attempt, which reduces risk and keeps options open. Ultimately, the decision depends on your confidence, resources, and long-term goals. Recommendation: If you can commit to rigorous preparation, consider dropping for JEE 2026; otherwise, join a government/private college now with scholarships and prepare alongside to improve your future prospects. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Sir, Thank you for your guidance. (I'm the same person who asked you these question) Can you please tell me which government or private engineering colleges I'm mainly looking for colleges that offer scholarship benefits or government fee reimbursement. It would help me decide better whether to take admission this year or consider dropping. Thank you again.

Ans: Avoid thinking about drop. Scholarship is provided by most of the colleges for the students who have performed well in Entrance Exams/12th Grade. Based on your OBC-NCL Category, you can try for scholarship through study4buddy website. You will get a lot of information. I have no idea much about it.
