    malsi,

    it will be tough to balance college studies with preparation for jee; your studies in the 1st year of college will have a few common topics with iit jee’s syllabus.

    if you are serious about iit jee, then you can consider devoting the year to preparing for it again; the advantages of studying in an iit are tremendous; finally it’s your decision….all the best!
