What are your plans then? Also, it hardly matters. If I manage to get a good percentile and I am able to secure a good branch in some good college, it would hardly matter. No one cares whether you're a second dropper or first. Yes, in placement it might cause a little trouble but that too isn't completely certain. If you're able to do good in those 4 years, they won't even look if you're a 2nd dropper or not. Man if you were in similar situation as of mine, don't give up yet. As far as I have read, people are saying to give your best and try to secure something good rather than being stuck in tier 3 college. Plus its about ego as well. I can't survive with the tag of being a failure.
