My son is in 12 th now preparing for JEE 2026. How can I help him because he is not satisfied with college explanation and we can't efforts High ended tuitions. Please guide us.

Ans: Mehul Sir,

Thoroughly read your question Sir. Here-below are some Options / Important Suggestions & Why?:

Option-1

After he finishes his 8th Standard, you can get admission for him into any CBSE-School (or) Maharashtra State Board School which also has an integrated Program.

As far as I know, there are very less number of CBSE Schools. If you can get into any CBSE School, well and good.

If he joins any State Board Integrated School from the 9th itself, it is highly recommended to thoroughly go through the NCERT Books of 9th to 12th Standards which is most important for JEE preparation.

It is preferable to start early for JEE (from 9th standard to cover NCERT basic concepts), but not mandatory.

Option-2

If you decide NOT to discontinue from IGCSE till 10th standard, you will have to put him in any JEE-Integrated School for 11th/12th Standard.

However, it is advisable to go through the NCERT books of 9th/10th, whenever time permits for your son as the quantity of subjects/syllabus of IGCSE will be more, compared to CBSE.

Option-3

As you prefer Home Tutors, please note, highly experienced Home Tutors (especially for JEE-Advanced preparation) charge on hourly-basis and depending upon the subject (for example, tuition fee for Maths will be higher, compared to Physics & Chemistry).

Please choose the best option, suitable for you/for your son out of the above 3-options.

Some other value-added tips:

1) Please give more importance to Maths, followed by Physics, as JEE Rank is allotted on the basis of highest marks in Maths.
2) If you prefer an Integrated Program, make sure the School/Integrated Class is not too far from your home. Travel consumes/wastes lot of your valuable time.
3) For other PRACTICAL Strategies / Steps / Tips, please go through some of my answers below, related to JEE preparation.

All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.

Ans: Hello Raja
Considering your son's score in the JEE (Mains) and his category, securing a seat in NITs or IIITs for a top engineering course may be challenging. If he has taken a state-level engineering entrance test and achieved good marks, it could be possible to obtain a seat in a government engineering college or a reputable private college. If he has not, then consider selecting a reputable college and branch and applying through the management quota. If financial constraints exist, compromises may be necessary in terms of branch and college selection. Securing a seat in one of the engineering colleges is feasible. If he is interested in core branches (i.e., civil/mechanical/electrical), he can attain admission to the best college with these preferred core branches. Suggestion: If you are considering a core branch, opt for Electrical if possible.
