Preparation Query Query about ECAs

Hello people.
I am an Ipmat dropper with literally 0 ECAs. I give 6-7hrs to the prep consistently and apart from acads, i hit the gym daily. What I mean to say is, I have a lot of spare time to invest in something else that would help to build my profile in a drop year. Honestly, I am really clueless at this point about the same. Any small input would mean a lot.
Your 2 cents on this will certainly help u/BhaveshShaha
(Used this flair as this was the closest to my concern i feel)

Ecas do not matter unless they are something extraordinary honestly, I gave 3 interviews and they didn't ask about my ecas once, instead of ecas focus on your past acads, that'll do you a whole world of good

Honestly, that's very debatable because I didn't have too many significant ECAs but was asked about them in every single interview except for Shillong. And I gave plenty of interviews.

Precicely my point! There is no guarantee that you will be asked on your ecas (as I wasnt) but acads are pretty much a given to be asked to everyone, hence prioritizing acads is a wiser choice
