What's the best career path for my son (12th standard, JEE aspirant)?

Ans: I have read your personal evaluation of your son as a doting parent.
I can only advice based on the observations made by you.

In these situations these are called reactive counselling which will not be accurate simply because I haven't heard from the incumbent.
The child is talented and has a creative mind too with the music school certification too!
The mind is experimental looking for new creative challenges.

The career stream should be based on the candidates acumen and aptitude.
Prima facie you have knocked out business and commerce based on your statement can't understand business ...!

Synopsis:gets good marks in Maths, Physics and Chemistry

So science stream is suggested, however need to meet candidate for professional career counselling.

All the best in the most important decision!

Ans: Well aptitude and ability of the student is important to judge the career opportunities.

I suggest you to a bit of research and don't just put the young man in the rat race.

Having said so Mechanical Engineering is a great opportunity... Boeing in India is hiring freshers for around ?40 lacs CTC per annum.
