Yes it is completely normal to drop a year. I had dropped a year too but didn’t join a coaching institute.
You need to assess whether you need coaching or not.
The advantages would be:
a competetive environment.
Doubt clearing option.
Regular test series.
Faculty will explain everything to you in detail
Disadvantages:
You won’t get enough time for self study.
The faculty generally rush with the syllabus for one year courses because two years course is to be completed in one year.
Lack of self study can have a negative impact on your results.
So decide if you can manage, then you should join a good coaching institute :)
