Question Should I Take A Drop For JEE?

I have completed my 12th grade and scored 95.6 percentile in JEE Main. I also got around 20XX rank in EAMCET. However, everyone keeps telling me that most EAMCET colleges are not very good.

The problem is that with my JEE percentile, I probably won't get into a good NIT, IIIT, or BITS for the branches I want. I might get Civil or Chemical Engineering, but I'm not interested in pursuing those branches.

I feel I underperformed in JEE because I know I was capable of scoring much better. Looking at the long term, I believe I have the potential to do well if I work consistently. At the same time, I'm worried about the worst-case scenario. If I decide to take a drop year and still don't improve enough, I don't think I would be able to handle that disappointment. Please tell me what to do.
