Yes, you can use an experience letter to explain a two-year gap after 12th grade if you were involved in work, internships, volunteering, or similar activities. The letter should clearly state your role, duration, and skills gained to help universities or visa officers understand your gap.

If you did not have formal experience, a gap year affidavit - a notarized statement explaining your reason for the break - can be provided. Requirements for gap documentation vary by institution and are subject to change.
