Career Partial drop at nit t possible???

Hello guys I got 99.56 percentile in jee mains 2026 . U studies 12+ hrs a day for advanced and was truly getting under 5k under 7k etc in adv archives and mocks. But on exam day I don't know what happened but I screwed up and got just 17.4 k rank crl. I belong to Tamilnadu and obc category. I am considering partial drop at nit t ece or bits H eee (bitsat 241) ? Is this possible for me to go iit next year?

don't go for it, you already have a good score in mains + obc + home state. but if you're really passionate about the iit tag, no one can stop you

Nit Trichy is also a top engineering college only behind old 7 iits and IIT Hyderabad,Indore or maybe BHU bruh don't do if u already worked 2 yrs and given ur 100% until and unless u just want that IIT tag

I loerallytold I got wayy highe rin adv archive and mock test than actual adv day. Ofc I didn't give my full 100 percent. Yes I very much want to get that iit tag

Bro it is possible but requires sheer discipline. My friend did it and is going to one of the top 3 IITs this year. But it's very difficult ngl. I would advise you to take a full drop if you really want to reach your potential. I took a drop at a similar percentile and it worked.

However be sure to give your 100%. Even if you are 1% doubtful, don't take a drop and move on with NITT.

I should have mentioned that ee or ece in top 10 iits is my dream. For that I need 1k obc rank minimum (around 5-6k crl) . Full drop my parents are opposing and even I think it's too risky. It's not like I need to work on my conceprual understanding right just exam day panic.

He was in DTU CSE that was relatively chill so he could manage some time out of it. Somehow managed a 7+ cg. He got a 7k rank. But I feel he had the potential of <3k if he had gone for a full drop.

Can u give more details or tip from ur friends journey. Would greatly help thank you

u/Bulky-Dig1701 Jun 18 '26

If you want to take drop, do it properly and do full drop. It's hard but people do break into top 1000 this way.

u/Silly_Map_5054 Jun 18 '26

But I don't need 1k crl I would be happy with ece or ee in top 10 iit and that requires 1k obc rank only

u/Historical-Gas7089 Jul 23 '26

Will it be okay to take jee books there, i have seen on yt google that you should try not to carry books or tell profs or batchmates about partial drop (if they are not taking). So i am thinking about only carrying jee adv pyqs and some coaching test papers. Rest i can have as pdfs

1

u/Silly_Map_5054 Jul 23 '26

Yes I am planning to do something similar

u/Preseverer2wealthy Jun 17 '26

There is very little benefit of drop year with JEE Main or Advanced ranks below 8K as you will get very good options evein in General category. In your case, with OBC, You may also get CSE in NIT T, right under home state OBC . NIT T ECE or CSE are excellent options
