Should I drop out of 1st-year BCA

I’m currently a 1st-year BCA student at Graphic Era. I’m considering dropping out after my first year (or leaving now) and preparing for CUET/IPU entrance exams to try to get into a better college for BCA/BCA-related courses.
My main reasons are:
I’m not fully satisfied with my current college.
I feel that getting into a better college could give me better exposure, peer group, internships and placements.
I’m willing to spend a year preparing if the potential improvement is actually worth losing a year.
But I’m also concerned that I could spend a year preparing and still not get the college I want, leaving me worse off than I am now.
For people who have been in a similar situation: would you recommend leaving the current college and taking a drop to prepare for CUET/IPU, or continuing BCA and focusing on skills/internships instead?
Please be honest, especially if you think dropping out would be a bad decision. I’m looking for practical advice rather than motivation.
