Drop year: join the distance learning programme and side-by-side prepare for your entrance exam
The dropout rate of students’ preparing for entrance exam in India is so much high and this has created a sense of insecurity among students and parents. The better decision is to choose a distance learning programme while preparing for any entrance exam; I’ll not say it’s an option B, rather its way out to explore your potential and using your time constructively.
And even after you got selected in your entrance exam after one year of drop, you still can continue with the distance learning programme alongside your degree programme in which you got selected.
As the play of dual degree, double degree and online degree is approved in India so yes, it’s an opportunity for you to gain two degrees simultaneously.
