As a 17-year-old preparing for JEE with sinus allergy, is it better to continue or switch subjects?

Ans: Hello.
Sad to hear about the illness your son has at this stage. Many times, the percentage or performance of the 10th board examination does not work for the preparation of JEE. Students seem to be brilliant up to 10th because for many reasons. But most of them fail to cope with the syllabus of JEE. The pattern of the 10th Board examination is different than that of JEE which is based on MCQs. The study techniques are different for both examinations. If he has a sinusitis allergy due to which he is unable to attend classes sometimes and unable to focus on his studies, then you have to think differently. For JEE preparation, one has to be consistent in studies. One should not depend upon the classes/teachers. Students must be a self-learner. It would be better to focus on the 12th Board and along with the board, prepare for IPM. There is no harm also. But making the right decision at the right time will help your son release the stress/burden of JEE. Also, it is wrong that success comes only via JEE.
