Hi Vaibhav!

I understand you're in a tough spot, but it's great you're thinking ahead. Here's my advice:

If you feel that your 11th year wasn't productive and you need to catch up, taking a gap year to repeat 11th with better guidance could be a good choice. The Illuminati batch at VMC is known for its strong teachers and structured approach, so it might give you the support you're looking for. However, keep in mind that a gap year also means you'll be under pressure to cover a lot of material quickly, and you'll need a lot of discipline and focus.

Before you make a decision, here are a few things to consider:

1. Self-Evaluation: Are you motivated enough to dedicate a year just for preparation? If yes, it could be worth it.

2. Focus on 12th: Since you’re going to repeat 11th, you should also ensure you’re able to manage 12th syllabus well after that.

3. Effect on College Plans: Taking a gap year could impact your college applications if you’re aiming for specific deadlines, so check those first.

It’s a big decision, but if you're really committed to improving and have a clear plan, it could help you perform better in the long run.

Best of luck !
