I fail to understand why you are even considering a drop year when you can get into the most reputed medical college in India, PGIMS Rohtak. It is second second-best college in Haryana and its Mecial ranking by NIRF was 49 out of 50 in India 2023. It is a reputable medical college in India, and getting a seat there is a great achievement.

The institute boasts of excellent placements and being a government college it has several advantages too. My friend was a gold medalist at PGIMS and is currently a doctor at AIIMS Delhi. His career is in full bloom and half the year he is outside India attending conferences.

So, taking a drop year when you have the option of joining PGIM SRohtak is not wise at all.
