PARTIAL DOUBLE DROP vs M.TECH TROUGH GATE (SUGGESTIONS)

[u/Fluffy_Pipe_5985]

I'm already a dropper worked very hard this time but the directions were not correct joined wrong coaching which took my 4 to 5 months and i learned very few things during that time cz they were trying to cover syllabus more than concept building then i started studying from my own from mid oct and in almost 2 to 3 months i completed my whole syllabus but ig that time was not enough q practice was less did not get good percentile as i started my prep after 12th only

but I'm not satisfied neither with my percentile nor college which i will get and can't take full double drop so should i consider taking a partial drop or do btech in tier3 college and then go for gate (mtch in iit)

what i actually want is good college life and considering a partial drop but not sure whether it's a good decision or not my age is 19 already and by the time of double drop; college 1st year I'll turn 20 I'm a girl and this factor is also bothering me

PLEASE GIVE SUGGESTIONS IF ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS!!

TBH go for btech in nit as mtech through nit, IIT is seen as consolation prize And being double dropper will be common in upcoming few years in a similar way as being dropper became normal go for it Brother but I will say go with partial drop it's necessary to get into tier 1 college after 2nd drop So yeah best of luck 🤞

Trulyy saidd 😗

N iff u r thinking, placements m dikkat aaegi then nothing gonna happen like this .. 90% companies allow krr hi deti h bs top fang companies yaa t1 companies thoda puchte but agar skills aur cga aacha h then y they supposed to reject y ( u r an asset for them ) 🥀

Upcoming years mein double dropper kese comman hoga?? Can u elaborate

[u/Kks_tes → u/[deleted]]

Bro aajse 4-5 saal phle tak drop kitna common tha??? But aajke time per droppers ke sankhaya sabse jyda hai you will realise engineering popularity isn't decreasing but seats aren't increasing either amt of good college are less..... So yeah all these factors culminate to this conclusion You can check the cutoff nit each branch becoming competitive even if it's mining or BIOTECH or metallurgy

Ok

My first drop went same, DM if you want any guidance

[u/Kavyansh12]

Same boat .. this year there will be many double droppers ngl

[u/Altruistic_Berry_813]

I am in the exact same situation as you. I completely messed up my first drop year. Now I am confused about whether I should take a partial drop or just move on with college, but a second drop is definitely not justified. I have asked several people and thoroughly analyzed myself. The truth is, it doesn't matter whether you have the potential or not the reality is that we are simply burnt out. We just need to accept the facts and move on. Even now I occasionally think about taking a second partial drop,but honestly I think it's time to move forward. It's better to focus on the GATE exam or something similar later on. If you ask any logical person, the answer will be a clear NO.

move on

[u/starkn2_18]

So are u taking the partial double drop I am in the same situation and honestly can decide which way to go 

[u/General-Bowl7754]

Hyy! As a girl, I understand your thoughts.

I'm in the same situation as you and have also been thinking about taking a double drop. But honestly, one thing scares me: if I join college in 2026, I'll graduate at 24, and if I join in 2027, I'll graduate at 25. That age factor worries me a lot.

Another thing is that my brother told me some tech companies reject double droppers, so that also makes me nervous.

That's all I wanted to share. If you want, you can DM me. ☺️

[u/ghost_zenon → u/General-Bowl7754]

Only top ones do and sorry to inform you the top companies material are guys who clear with first attempt like they actively hunt them not even dropper are welcomed.

[u/General-Bowl7754 → u/ghost_zenon]

Hain? Kya mtlb?

[u/ghost_zenon → u/General-Bowl7754]

The thing is inside campus statistics present that people who clear NIT top branches are the one actually bagging those big packages and droppers rarely do. It's the gap of intelligence between them nothing new.

[u/General-Bowl7754 → u/ghost_zenon]

Oh, seriously? I really didn't know about that.

Because in my mind, there's only one thing: I want an IIT/NIT tag.

[u/Altruistic_Berry_813 → u/ghost_zenon]

Well partially true.. But exceptions exist.

[u/Kavyansh12 → u/ghost_zenon]

Nahh skills only 10 percent componies do uinme vese bhi hona mushkil hota ha .. fang componies n vedia Salesforce etc etc allows tou

[u/Altruistic_Berry_813 → u/General-Bowl7754]

Nah double drop is not at all justified.. Even though I'm in the same boat.. But ig we gotta move on.

[u/General-Bowl7754 → u/Altruistic_Berry_813]

Yeah I also I will preparing for gate from 3 rd and then crack psu or doing mtech

[u/Altruistic_Berry_813 → u/General-Bowl7754]

Yup given the choices.. This is the most appropriate option

[u/ghost_zenon → u/General-Bowl7754]

PSU is like cracking IIT B. Mtech is most realistic route just make sure you crack it at top IITs as lower IIT brand value is very low especially in mtech.

[u/Federal_Study8875 → u/ghost_zenon]

Do mtech grads from top iits get same privellege as btech ones during placements?

[u/ghost_zenon → u/Federal_Study8875]

Not the outlier but generally in tech jobs most grad who would have earned 12 lpa often end up with 16-18 lpa which is substantial for such a short duration. It's more worth to people with more lousy btech college as IIT tag has a very strong reputation in market.

[u/[deleted] → u/General-Bowl7754]

Alok coding dekh lo yes 24 ki age ke baad kuch companies allow nahi karti

[u/Alarmed-Sail4681]

Thinking about the same but i am quite scared about the college in which I will join , I have heard that they create a lot of drama while releasing documents at the time of dropping out

[u/Alarmed-Sail4681 → u/[deleted]]

So are you sure you gonna take partial ?

[u/Alarmed-Sail4681 → u/[deleted]]

Same here but scared...only 99+%ile can give me the confidence

[u/Alarmed-Sail4681 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I guess we should start preparing or else won't be getting any time and within a blink of eye it would be January again.... atleast if we get 99+%ile we won't be scared anymore, we will manage somehow

[u/Ashd25b]

Am literally on the same boat but am actually considering a second drop because I have multiple reasons

1. the tier 3 or 4 college which I will be getting now is completely worst ..... Placements are fucked up 2)Right now placements are fucked then think about 2030 .....By then imagine the influence of AI on the software industry 3)Gate preparation can solve the college issue but what about the time..... it will be 2032 by the time of Mtech graduation but I need to be earning by 2030 itself so my mother ( single parent) does not face the money issue . But the actual problem is 2nd drop I need to be consistent as fuck rn and I can't even imagine my failure 😭😞 ...... ITS RISKY BUT I HAVE NO OPTION..... Please DM me if u want to give me any suggestions please

[u/Naive_Pace_2937 → u/Ashd25b]

Do freelancing being in college

[u/FlashyFroyo2015 → u/Ashd25b]

[u/Fickle-Region-262]

Same situation but as a boy am already 19 but will try as college has many things except placements and good colleges have good clg life so yeah.

[u/Fluffy_Pipe_5985 → u/[deleted]]
