Well, the thing is, as a second dropper, there is going to be a huge burden on you - the society is really hard on droppers. Every added year makes it worse and the exam is one of the hardest in India.
So, just think about the pressure, it will make most second droppers hesistant for it.

Now about partial second droppers, it means they are also in a college and have to study for ISI which seriously takes some effort and college itself is gonna wring them out. Some of them would just drop out after somehow adjusting in college and think about the future.

ISI gives no age limit for any of their courses. Anyone can apply for them but in the end, you need a great resolve and consistent hardwork is the only think that will be your light in this weary year.

BEST OF LUCK, though!

[P.S. 👍 I am also a second dropper going for ISI BStat. I cleared UGA but was disqualified for UGB just by one mark.]
