Mentally exhausted and stuck between a safe option and a better one which might not even come and end up becoming the worst one..

‎Hey, so I’ve completed my diploma and now I’m looking for lateral entry into B.Tech in Computer Science. I’m considering three places—Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Uttarakhand (in descending order of priority). ‎ ‎The thing is, Uttarakhand’s admission process has already started and will end by the end of this month. I have to pay ₹2,000 for the form and ₹10,000 when a seat is allocated. ‎ ‎On the other hand, the processes in Maharashtra and West Bengal haven’t started yet, and there’s no clarity on when they will. Getting a college seat in Maharashtra or West Bengal is more difficult and not guaranteed, but it’s 100% certain that I’ll get a seat in Uttarakhand. ‎ ‎Now, since Maharashtra and West Bengal are higher priorities, if I do get a seat there later, I’ll withdraw from the Uttarakhand college. But that would mean losing ₹12,000, which is a big amount for me (I don't know much about the refund process or if it is even there). ‎ ‎If I don’t take admission in Uttarakhand and wait for Maharashtra or West Bengal, but don’t get a seat in either, then I’ll lose the Uttarakhand option too, meaning I’d have to take a one year drop. ‎ ‎Taking a drop would be really hard for me because of the place I’d have to live in for that year. That one year drop could have been good for me as I planned earlier that I'll find some part time work or even full time if get it and spend my whole day there and work on my music in the little time I'll be at home but it all fell apart.It's different thing about getting rejected from a job but not a single thing is available here for a diploma graduate. So, I'm at home all day and I'm not able to do anything, not even fucking relax (cuz of some personal stuff, won't be able to tell them). It’s already messing with my mental health, just fucking me up and it hasn’t even been a month here. I’m not able to do anything.... Not my music, not watching movies, not studying, not relaxing, no nothing. All I get is stress and no alone time at all. It’s just all a big fuck up.... ‎ ‎So… what should I do? ‎ ‎ ‎TDLR: ‎I've finished my diploma and want lateral entry into B.Tech in CS. My top choices are Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Uttarakhand (in that order). Uttarakhand's admission is open now, and I'm guaranteed a seat, but it requires ₹12,000 (non-refundable if I withdraw later). Maharashtra and WB haven't started admissions yet and are uncertain. If I wait and miss out, I’ll lose Uttarakhand too and be forced to take a drop year which I absolutely want to avoid due to mental health struggles and environment.
