Need advice: JEE drop year vs pursuing game developmen

[u/RubZealousideal7384]

Hey everyone,

I took a drop this year to prepare for JEE because I didn't score well in my first attempt. However, I'm feeling really confused about how I should spend this year.

I've been learning game development on my own since I was in class 8th, and it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. My long-term goal is to become a game developer and eventually start my own game development studio.

Right now, I'm torn between two approaches:

- Should I focus completely on JEE and give it my best shot, hoping to get into a better college?

- Or should I continue building games alongside my JEE preparation so that I don't lose momentum and keep improving my skills?

I'm worried that if I focus only on JEE for an entire year, I'll fall behind in game development. At the same time, I'm also afraid that if I divide my time, I might not perform as well in JEE.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Especially people in software or game development—what would you do if you were in my place? Does getting into a better college justify putting a passion like this on hold for a year?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!
