Sir, my son is in 11th, CS stream, haven't gone for any coaching during 11th but he plans to appear in JEE. But, almost all his classmates are going for coaching..should we suggest him to go for one for whole year after 12th or give coaching during 12th? Will he able to crack it?
Ans: Some students successfully crack JEE even if they join a coaching center after completing 11th standard. However, this depends on several factors, including: ? Academic performance over the last 3-4 years. ? The type of coaching center (integrated, weekend, or weekday classes). ? The distance between school and the coaching center. ? How smartly and strategically he prepares. ? His time management skills and ability to balance school and coaching. ? His self-motivation and dedication to the JEE preparation journey. ? Most importantly, his interest in engineering as a career.
Before making a decision, it’s essential to communicate openly with him. Ensure that he is genuinely interested in both joining a coaching center and pursuing engineering, rather than feeling pressured to do so.
Regardless of whether he joins coaching or not, always have Plan B and Plan C for his undergraduate studies. Encourage him to appear for multiple entrance exams (based on his interests and ambitions) instead of relying solely on JEE. This way, he will have more career options after completing 12th grade. All the Best for your Son's Prosperous Future.
