Sir, My son is in Class Xth. My question is what is the way after Xth to make a career as a scientist in organisations like ISRO, DRDO, or any other central scientific research institutes?

Ans: Physics is a wide field. Your son can continue to build his career in the domain of physics - and go for higher order degrees - masters / PhD in India or abroad. After studying physics - your son can explore academia, deep tech, astronomy, nuclear etc. Physics graduate after doing their graduation - also look at finance as an area to go deep into - quantum finance. Some get into MBA too .. So if he is interested in physics - let him pursue that - but have a chat with him on what he would like to post his graduation ..
