Architecture students, please help a confused 12th grader out

Miscellaneous

Hi everyone,

I recently passed 12th grade and I'm feeling quite confused about my future. I always planned on pursuing aerospace engineering because I was genuinely interested in space technology, but after a year of JEE preparation, I ended up feeling completely burnt out.

I didn't score well in JEE or other entrance exams, and honestly, I know I didn't put in my best effort because I was mentally exhausted by the end of it all. My board percentage is 68%.

Now I'm considering alternatives to engineering, and architecture is one of the options I'm exploring. Mathematics is one of my strengths, but my drawing skills are average at best , tbh idk what course to think of like i have js lost interest in everything

Would architecture be a good choice for someone like me? Is it worth taking a drop year to prepare for architecture entrance exams, or should I consider other paths altogether?

I'd really appreciate honest advice from architecture students or professionals. Thanks!
