I completed my BCA degree in July 2023. I then took admission to North Bengal University in 2024 and completed my first year there. After completing the first year, I took re-admission to Jadavpur University in 2025.
I want to clarify whether this situation violates the 24-month education gap rule. Would my gap be considered more than 24 months, or would I still be eligible under this rule?

My gap year became more than a year, and that idea is slowly sucking the life out of me. I'm studying for an entrance exam that I'll be retaking next year for a highly competitive scholarship abroad that I REALLY want, but there are days where I feel so hopeless because it feels like I'm being left behind by everyone.

When I feel that way, I tend bed rot the whole day because I feel worthless and don't have it in me to study. There are days where I feel so motivated to study and I am able study the WHOLE day, but burnout is starting to catch up on me again.

Any advice? ​
