My son is answering XII Science exmans this March, he didn't go for any tuitions nor any coaching for JEE classes. He intends to do B Tech or computer Science. But he is not interested in answering JEE exams at all. He is good in studies but not sure without coaching, whether he'll be able to clear JEE. Is there anyway he can get admission for BTech We are based in Goa

Ans: Hello,
Without JEE you cannot get admission in any NITs, IIITs or GFTIs. You need to appear for MHTCET which is state entrance exam and see which college you can get. Last is approaching please fill the form.

Sir my son is in eleventh class he scored 96 percent in boards he wants to prepare for JEE but he do not want to take any coaching he wants to do self study ....i want to know is he right ..or what will i do .
Ans: Lengthy answer (applicable to All Self-studying Students for JEE/NEET/Other Entrance Exams). Please DON'T force him to join any Coaching Center as he prefers Self-Study. However, here are some questions he should ask himself & strategies he should definitely follow: (1) Does he have the syllabus of JEE of 2024 in hand to always refer (as syllabus hardly changes every year or changes minutely)? (2) What all sources he has / will have for his self-study? NCERT Books? Watching YouTube Videos for each Chapter? Does he know the important Reference Books for each Subject - PCM like HC VERMA for Physics? (3) Does he prepare his own short-notes? (4) How may hours he studies every day & how smartly he studies (not hardly)? Has he planned how he can manage both school syllabus & JEE preparation? (5) How he will come to know how he has prepared, in which concepts / topics / chapters he is weak and what improvements needed? (6) How is practicing questions and from where? (7) Has he at least joined DLP (Distance Learning Program) with any Coaching Center to get their study materials & self-study? These are some illustrative examples of questions he should ask himself. Now COMING to important strategies he should definitely follow (1) It is highly advisable (if not joining any coaching center) to join at least DLP with Allen / AhaGuru or online classes. (2) To give more importance to Maths, as JEE Rank is allotted on the basis of Scores in Maths first, followed by Physics & Chemistry. (3) Should prepare his own short-notes and revise regularly. (4) Keep on practising Online Test Series Chapter-wise / Unit-wise and note down the wrongly answered questions for reference later. (5) Instead of easy questions, should always try to attempt very difficult / complicated / tough / lengthy questions as these type of questions will disturb him a lot during his actual JEE Exam. (6) MOST IMPORTANT: To attempt All India Test Series of any top Coaching Center's Online Test Series to know where he stands among 1000s or lac of students and where he has to move? (7) Should be thorough with basic concepts (beginning from NCERT Books) of all Chapters of PCM. Again, these are just some illustrative important strategies he should follow.

All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Hi Sir, My son studies in 8th grade in an IGCSE board school in Mumbai. He is keen to pursue Engineering and crack JEE exams. I want him to start preparing for it early and already motivating him to study syllabus of CBSE Maths not covered in IGCSE. He shows great excitement in the same and does it willingly. I shall also do the same for Science. My queries are as below. What do I do after his 10th boards? Should I ask him pursue AS and A boards or enrol him to an academy for an integrated study of 11th and 12th + JEE? I am keen to have private tutors for JEE studies. Will this be better than academy coaching? Should I enrol him in a Junior college for 11th and 12th and also ask him to prepare for JEE simultaneously? Thanks, Mehul
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.

Can you please suggest on capital gains as per Indian taxation laws arising in the below two queries : 1) property purchased with joint ownership, me and my wife’s name in 2015 at a cost of 64,80,000, housing improvements done for the cost of 1000000 and brokerages of 200000 paid and sold the same property at 10000000 in Dec 2023? 2) 87% of the proceeds got from the deal i.e 8700000, have been reinvested to pay 25% amount in purchasing another joint ownership property in Dec 2023, 3) I have invested in another under construction property in Nov 2023 by taking housing loan, which is on me and my wife’s name worth 1.4 cr, here the primary applicant is me only while wife is just made a Co applicant in the builder buyer agreement and also on the housing loan . So what are the LTCG tax liabilities arising from the above 3 scenarios for FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. I intend to sale off the property acquired in (2) by Dec 2024 and use that proceeds to close the housing loan for the property acquired in (3), will this sale of property be inviting any tax liabilities if the complete proceeds received from the sale of the property in (2) would be utilised to close the housing loan taken in Nov 2023 for the property in (3) ? Since in FY 23-24, I would be claiming the LTCG from the sale proceeds of 1) invested in the purchase of property in 2), and I intend to sale off this property in Dec 2024, will the LTCG claim be forfeited on the property sale in (1), should I hold this property at least for further 1 year so that sale of this property in 2) will not invite STCG?
Ans: (A). Let's first talk about F/Y 2023-24 :
You jointly sold a Property during the year for Rs.76.80 lakhs (64.80+10.00+2.00), & sold the same for Rs.100.00 lakhs.
You have jointly also purchased Property No.3 (I suppose it is Residential only), for Rs.140.00 lakhs.
You should avail exemption u/s-54 & file your ITR accordingly. Please disclose all details about sale & purchase in your ITR.
02. Now coming to the F/Y 2024-25 :
You intend to Sell Property No.2, which was acquired in 2023-24. Any Gain on Sale of it would be Short Term capital Gains & taxed accordingly.
Alternatively, you may hold this sale of property no.2 (for 2 years from its purchase) & avoid STCG
You are free to utilize the sale proceeds in a way you like, including paying off your housing Loan.
Please note to avail exemption u/s 54 only from investment in property no.3 & not 2.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
