Random advice with some random presumptions. I wonder if you even went to or graduated from a tier-1 NLU and got a tier-1 law firm job. 2 year dropper means you have written the CLAT 3 times and are probably still in law school since the age change happened in 2017 only.
First, no law firm employer cares for your age unless you’re say 26-27 years when you are graduating. And even then, they might ask you why only to clarify and not to judge. Getting a tier-1 NLU is no sure shot for most folks and employers understand this. They focus on your technical knowledge of the law for the practice area that you are applying for.
And you don’t have to do anything during your drop year to make good use of the time. Just focus on the competitive exam (CLAT/AILET) and make sure you get through a good NLU. It will NOT affect your chances of getting scholarships or internships, etc, within the college. Even the London firms hardly care for your age unless there’s some glaring issue. And London firms are usually only got by a few toppers in every tier-1 NLU batch so don’t put that as your benchmark just yet.
Being a dropper myself, I understand the circumstances, situations and self conflict one has to go through sometimes in facing this exam. It's not all flowers and rainbows as some make it seem. It is completely okay if you are a 1,2 or 3 year dropper if it something you're really passionate about and care to achieve. The gap years will teach you a lot, building a resume and interning is not something we have the resources or the best insight to look at this stage in life. So it is totally fine to be a dropper. You are doing great and you will fare well.
