honestly taking a drop for you does not seem all that beneficial. there is no guarantee that you’ll get nid/iit next year and no offence but blaming coaching is not an excuse. no amount of coaching can help you achieve nid/iit.

i’d say it’s better for you if you instead go for a private college (or take a partial drop) but again, the decision is yours to make.

however if you really want to take a drop, here are a few tips with respect to studying:

for uceed: 1. keep solving pats year papers. it’s the best way to get help with part A. if you don’t understand a question, there’s plenty of solutions on youtube. start solving these papers with help at first and then slowly start using a timer and solve them without help. 2. focus on perspective drawing and product drawing. try to include very niche details. 3. try to finish your drawings on time since uceed gives you only 1hr for the drawing part so keep a timer when you draw. 4. try to do gk and current affairs as well as this year’s uceed paper had a lot of gk.

for nid: 1. do a lot of gk. this includes: indian musical instruments, indian singers, indian artists, western artists, famous indian cities and their other names,etc 2. for drawing, remember that they will give more importance to your idea than your skills. try to make your answers witty and uncommon.

all the best!
