My son has given his 10th CBSE exam ,and wants to join science PMC group. Wants to to JEE. But I think I know his capability ( certainly not for JEE). Now fees is class fess is around 1.8 laks for 2 years. Question1 -Should I invest in (JEE) He like do Astro physics later in carrier - Question2 - If we continue for JEE ,Need guidance for his carrier path for Astro-PHysics . Thanks - TSJ

Ans: Hi,

If your son is interested in pursuing a career in astrophysics through JEE Mains, it's important to ensure that he has a strong foundation in physics and mathematics. He can pursue these subjects through the PCM stream, which will also prepare him for the JEE Mains exam.

After qualifying JEE Mains, your son can appear for JEE Advanced, which is the entrance exam for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other top engineering colleges. If your son qualifies JEE Advanced, he can consider pursuing a degree in engineering or physics, which can serve as a stepping stone towards a career in astrophysics.

Apart from formal education, your son can also explore internships and research opportunities in astrophysics. This can help him gain hands-on experience and develop a deeper understanding of the subject.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a career in astrophysics through JEE Mains should depend on your son's interests, strengths, and career goals. It's important to have an open and honest conversation with your son to understand his aspirations and work together to create a plan that aligns with his interests and abilities.


Also, several engineering colleges in India offer courses in astronomy and astrophysics, but there are currently no colleges that offer an engineering degree specifically in astrophysics.

However, there are several colleges and universities in India that offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in physics and astronomy, which can serve as a strong foundation for pursuing a career in astrophysics. Some of the top colleges and universities in India that offer courses in physics and astronomy include:

Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur
Delhi University, Delhi
University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad
Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Thiruvananthapuram
Pune University, Pune

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: Hello Mehul. Your son is in 8th std. It is good to hear that he is doing good in his studies that too willingly. As he is in 8th std, it would be better to join him for 3 years Foundation Course for IIT-JEE (8th + 9th + 10th). Search these coaching institutes near by you if possible. Else you can purchase the excellent material provided by Matrushri Institute, Hyderabad. The material provided by this institute is excellent. Purchase the material, and search private tutors to complete the syllabus. After completing this course, Your son will be quite comfortable to face JEE syllabus. You decide about the JEE coaching institute only after his 10th examination. You better enroll his name In a Jr. College and then join best coaching center available near by your home.
