Ans: Both paths are valid but serve different goals. If you prefer leadership, stakeholder management, and stability, choose PMP (project/program management). However, if you genuinely enjoy data, coding, and long-term technical growth, continue with Data Science. Do not try both at once; select one based on your interests and career goals. It is better to ask who is actually providing the training for both streams. Also, have a close talk with people working in both fields for more clarity before making your final decision. Remember, shifting from one (known) area to another unknown area may be challenging. But if you find that at the manager level, you are not finding any growth, then it is worth making the proper decision and accepting the challenge. From your query, it seems that you have made up your mind to shift either to PMP or Data Science. There is no harm in learning about the challenges. Proceed with confidence to hit your target.

Ans: He is still in the 9th standard. Let him complete the 10th grade. After 10th grade, only decide about his future planning. Till then, focus on the syllabus for 9th and 10th grades and provide him with good private coaching or a tutor to clear his basic concepts. Don't panic and adopt a wait-and-see approach until he completes 10th.

Ans: With a 99.52 percentile (GEN), prefer CSE at top institutes like IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, IIIT Delhi, or top NITs (NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal) over ECE unless he has a strong interest in electronics, and your college list is good. Also consider NSUT Delhi and DTU if they suit you.

Ans: You are not 100% on the right track. You cannot remain 100% dependent on PW lectures. A student preparing for either JEE or NEET always needs help from a physical teacher. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you either take help from individual subject teachers or enroll your son in a local coaching class if possible. That way, in an emergency or need, your son can get help from a physical teacher.

With Physics Wallah, just ensure he follows a strict study schedule, thoroughly practices NCERT, takes regular mock tests, and maintains good health alongside preparation.

Ans: Please mention your state. It is not worth searching for colleges across PAN India. Choose a reputed private college from your state to apply to. Before that, focus more on your second attempt and try to score 95+ %tile to secure a seat in one of the NITs.

Good luck.

Ans: You should mention a one-year gap (May 2024–Aug/Sept 2025) for NEET preparation because from September 2025 onward, you are already enrolled as a bona fide student at IIT Jodhpur in the B.Sc./B.S. in Applied AI & Data Science, so the gap ends when you start that program.

Radheshyam

Ans: Yes, you can take the JEE (Main) in 2027 if you passed Class 12 in 2025 because JEE Main allows attempts in the year of passing plus the next two years (2025, 2026, 2027). However, it is highly recommended to download the latest brochure of JEE from its official website and read the eligibility section carefully. It would be better not to ask teachers, as they often do not update themselves due to academic pressure. Additionally, you can clarify by sending an email or calling NTA. The contact details are available on the official NTA website.

Good luck.

Radheshyam

Ans: (1) You are NOT eligible for JEE (Adv) 2027

(2) You WILL be eligible for BITSAT 2027 if you pass Class 12 (PCM) in 2026 through NIOS, because BITSAT allows current year and one previous year pass students.

Practical Advice- Instead of thinking about JEE (Adv), try to score more in the mains and your state-level engineering entrance examinations.

Good luck.

Radheshyam

Ans: I hope you will appear for the 2nd attempt also.
Based on the first attempt score, it is challenging to get a seat in CSE at any government college. Chances with lower NITs seem possible. Generally, it’s better to choose CSE/IT in a decent private college rather than a very low branch in a government college.

Good luck.

Radheshyam

Ans: Take PCM in 11th, start learning coding (Python/C++), practice English gradually, prepare for engineering entrance exams like JEE Main after 12th, join a good CS college, and keep building small apps/projects along the way. Hindi medium is not a big hurdle to build a career in computers. You only need to take some extra effort to learn English if you wish to achieve your goal.

Ans: (1) NEET (UG) application doesn’t require the 12th marksheet upload at this stage. (2) APAAR ID is optional, so submitting the form without it won’t cause any issue. However, it is highly recommended that you make all necessary corrections to your 10th marksheet and Aadhar Card to ensure uniformity in the name and address before the counselling process begins. Right now, focus only on studies and aim to score at least 650+ in the examination.

Ans: At this stage, your question is completely irrelevant. In the era of AI, you can get the required information in just a few seconds. I would like to suggest to you to focus solely on the syllabus and try to score as much as possible. Keep the target of 99+ %ile. With the required score, the doors of top colleges automatically open for you. Please contact us again with your valid score either in JEE or your state-level engineering entrance examination.

Ans: Hey, here is the point-wise reply to your question:

(1) You can appear for the HSC Mathematics exam as an independent candidate through the Maharashtra State Board in July–August 2026, and if you pass, that Maths result will generally be accepted for admissions in 2026–27 for courses requiring Maths.

(2) With 45% and a two-year gap, gaining admission to top colleges may be difficult, but you can still try mid-/lower-cutoff colleges such as SIES College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Vivekanand Education Society's College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Tolani College of Commerce, and Guru Nanak Khalsa College, depending on seat availability, especially for BSc IT or BCA.

(3) Since you come from a Biology background without Maths, BCA is usually the easiest entry into IT (as the Maths requirements are lighter), whereas BSc CS/Data Science can be more challenging because they rely more heavily on mathematics and statistics.

(4) In the IT industry, skills, projects, internships, coding ability, and your portfolio matter far more than college ranking, although attending a better college can initially help with networking and placements.

(5) The practical pathway might be: complete HSC Maths in 2026 → apply for BCA or BSc IT at reputable Mumbai colleges → focus intensively on coding skills (Python, web development, projects) during your degree, as building real technical skills will be much more important for your career than your past percentage.

However, it is strongly advised to arrange a one-to-one session with a counsellor so they can suggest more options after discussing your profile. Do not rely solely on our advice. Take our advice as a guideline only.

Ans: Fill IAT 2026 with Class 12 year = 2024 (PCB marks) and mention Maths as an additional subject appearing in 2026. You are eligible for IISC admission if your final 2026 marksheet later shows Maths with the required aggregate. However, it is strongly recommended to refer to the latest brochure for any updates, if available.

Radheshyam

Ans: With the mentioned score, the chances of getting admission to NITS are slim, but there are opportunities for lower IIITs. It is difficult to secure branches like CSE, CSE (AI+ML). Your son may get mechanical or electrical engineering. Choosing a branch from the diversified fields will be very challenging. However, if you are considering admission to any reputed private college, then prefer CSE (AI+ML/DS) based on placement records and the future prospects of AI.

Good luck.

Radheshyam

Ans: For IAT 2026 (IISER Aptitude Test) - Please mention Maths as an additional subject appearing in 2026 (result awaited), but you likely won’t be eligible for admission to the Indian Institute of Science (IIsc) because it requires a single Class-12 marksheet with PCM from the same board exam. However, it is highly recommended to refer to the latest brochure for recent updates about admission rules and regulations.

Ans: You still have about 8 weeks, which is enough time to make a big jump if you focus on revision + question practice. First, don’t panic about “forgetting everything”; after illness, it’s normal for recall to feel weak, but concepts usually come back quickly with practice. Start by revising Biology daily (2–3 chapters/day) because it gives the fastest score increase. For Physics and Chemistry, revise formulas, key reactions, and then solve topic-wise MCQs the same day to rebuild recall. Take a Full Mock Test every 3–4 days, analyze mistakes carefully, and make a small “error notebook” so you don’t repeat them. Try to solve 120–150 questions daily and spend more time on Biology accuracy, since it’s the easiest way to push your score up quickly. Also, maintain sleep, light exercise, and proper meals so your energy fully returns after being sick. If you stay consistent with revision, mocks, and error analysis for the next two months, jumping from 350 to 600+ is realistic, and 650+ becomes possible with high accuracy.

Practical Advice: You can improve your score from 350 to 650 with thorough study and practice. Saying recall is very easy, but it will only be effective if it was well understood in the past. It is better to choose chapters from PCB where you feel more confident and focus on questions from these chapters in the NEET Exam.
For 650+: You Score like- BIO > 300, PHY > 150, CHE > 200.

Ans: She has a good chance of being admitted to SPA Delhi. Other excellent options include CEPT University and the School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal. Generally, CEPT is considered more design-and-industry-oriented and innovative, while SPA Bhopal has a more disciplined government institute profile. However, it is highly recommended to speak with current students and visit the campus before making any decision based solely on online consultations/reviews.

Ans: To improve placement and exam performance, such as GATE, your son should focus on strong core concepts (Networks, Signals, Control Systems, EDC), coding (C/C++/Python), Data Structures & Algorithms, MATLAB/Simulink, basic VLSI/Embedded Systems, internships/projects, aptitude practice, and consistent GATE-level problem solving.
However, let your son decide what is best for him. Ask your son to talk with seniors or keep in touch with pass-out students so they can tell what the tech industry actually needs. I would like to suggest one more thing. Please read the Wanted/Placement advertisements published in English daily papers on a regular basis to understand the recent trends.
To face upcoming challenges, ask him to master as many AI tools as possible.
