While Apple allows, try downgrading to 9.3.2.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to the previous release. Hurry do not wait. This period lasts for at most a week.

Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:
1) Do a full backup of your device if needed. Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

2) Three ways of restoring your ipad. [ as easy as abc ]
2.a) "You can use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings and the latest version of iOS."

2.b) Be a little more insistent: "You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.:

3.c) At last resort you could consider DFU (Device Firmware Update). This could void your warranty.
