Does Dropping a year in B.Sc Physics hurt your career considerably?

[funkysourav]

Hi Guys
I am pursuing B.Sc in Physics (Currently 2nd Year) from the college at my hometown.
I gave my Part 2 (Paper 3 and Paper 4) examinations this week and they were terrible to say the least and i'm convinced that i'd fail.

So i am considering dropping this year altogether and appear for the Part 2 examinations again next year as i need a good overall percentage to get in at any good university for my M.Sc studies.
And also due to the fact that everything i learn in 2nd year is directly worked upon in 3rd year, if i drag myself through with this my basics would suffer.

My friends/classmates are saying that dropping a year would have no impact on my career in the long run, as long as i get a good overall/aggregate percentage (>60 %).

However my family is against the idea, as i have been a good student and they can't get their heads around the fact that i am Dropping a year.
My Brother a successful software Engineer at Infosys is totally against the idea and says that maybe my future employers would sideline me due to this academic setback.
However I think that the hit i'd take with bad marks would prove to be more of a setback in the long run.

So, what do i do?

don't know about others but in my opinion dropping a year is worse option than getting bad marks.

1. percentage is required if you want to do MSc. in good university
2. Also there are entrance test for MSc. in good university

But dropping a year looks like negative thinking
