If you continue studying beyond 45-minutes, your concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake.

Why because he will a lot of options and it will be very easy for you / for your son to choose the best and most suitable, keeping in view a number of factors such as, (a) Your son's interest as far as stream is concerned (b) Reputation of University / College (c) Location (d) Placements (e) Hostel Option & (f) Travel Time Taken for College from Home.

Please note, if you want to get admission into top-ranked Private College, you will have spend minimum 50-55 Lacs (+/-) depending upon the college & stream your son prefers.
