Hi Sir My son is in 8th standard and since younger age very knowledgeable and interested about space and astronomy. How to place him in the best organisations viz NASA., ISRO so he can continue what he loves and make a career at early age?

Ans: Hi Kapil.
Glad to hear about your son's interest in space and astronomy at an early age.
1) Provide him with good foundation books published by various publishers like MTG, Dinesh, Matrushri (Hyderabad) etc.
2) Ask him to appear for all types of olympiad examinations conducted at the school level.
3) Ask him to appear for Dr Homi Bhabha's 9th/10th standard examination.
4) Try to complete CBSE + ICSE + State board syllabus at each standard i.e. 8th, 9th and 10th
5) Visit the NASA and ISRO websites to learn more details, i.e., the process of joining them.
At last, keep a close eye on his performance at each state/examination. Always take proper and honest feedback from his teachers. Try to have his meeting with rankers.
In summer vacation, try to visit places like Nehru Planetarium (Mumbai), and Jantar-Mantar's located at Jaipur, Delhi, Varanasi, Ujjain, and Mathura which will open his eyes more. These places are well known from Astronomy point of view.

If you are not satisfied with the reply, pl ask again without any hesitation.

Sir, My son is not interested in computer related jobs. However, he has deep interest in physics. Based on his choice, he likes two engineering branches (from good/reputed institute (like VIT/Thapar Institute) - Either Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering. So, please suggest regarding the following queries. (1) From package/salary point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? (2) From profession growth point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? Please suggest from short and long term perspective.
Ans: If he wants stable government jobs (PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, ONGC, BEL, etc.) → Both ME and ECE are equally good.

If he wants a high-paying career in India (private sector) → ECE is better (VLSI, semiconductor, telecom are booming).

If he wants international opportunities (Germany, US, Japan) → Mechanical is good for automotive/aerospace, but ECE is better for semiconductors.

If he is interested in future technology (Quantum, AI hardware, 6G, IoT, Chip Design) → ECE has a clear edge.

If he enjoys hands-on work (machinery, engines, aerodynamics) → Mechanical suits him better.

For best career growth and salary: ECE (core sector like VLSI, 5G, semiconductor, telecommunications, embedded systems).

For passion in classical physics and machines: ME (with specialization in Robotics, Aerospace, or Renewable Energy).
