Thanks for sharing that—it’s totally okay to take a step back and plan for a stronger comeback!

Now, regarding BITSAT eligibility and whether you’d be considered a dropper:

BITSAT Eligibility Rules:

As per the latest BITSAT norms (usually consistent year to year):

  1. You are eligible for BITSAT only in the year you passed 12th and the following year.

    So if you:
