well first of all let me tell u that you can give aieee again..
secondly let me advise you not to drop a year and think "1 year thats too much in this time i will surely become an expert and crack iit/aieee/bits etc."
instead you join some college and since the first semester has mainly syllabus comprising of the topics for entrance exam ....so it is like competition in which case u would get to know ur potential...
believe me i have seen students droping an year, even two years and ending up in a miscellaneous college .....and then realising tht they had wasted their precious years
