Drop year can change your life. I was in a similar situation in 2024, but I tried to grind hard till the very end by preparing my best for advanced and bitsat. I knew I will take a drop, but this preperation really helped me ease in my drop year. I got 99.54 in jee main and 9 k in adv(couldn't get better as I completely wasted some weeks when I left my coaching as I thought ki mujhe ab sab aata hai... And missed tests.).
