Grade 11 PCM Student: Balancing JEE Prep and NSE Olympiad?

Ans: Hello Kumar, I think I have answered your question before.
Yes, your son can appear for the Olympiads on his own without school. When he will apply, the olympiad organizing body gives the nearest possible center to the student.

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.

Ans: Hello dear.
Here is the pointwise reply to your question:
(1) Don't worry at this stage. Your son is in just 6th std. He can appear to any national level exams as per his wish and preparation.
(2) Enrolling in Olympiad coaching can boost his lost confidence to some extent.
(3) There is no need to panic and stress at this very stage for dropping the idea of National Level Competitions. Just take it easy. Take every exam as simple as possible. If for any reason, your son fails to crack these exams, then nothing will go wrong. Many options in front of you will open up automatically when he is in 12th grade. Just relax, do not think much about the future, and be always with your son. Don't set any type of difficult target in front of him at this stage. Not possible for an aspirant to keep the pressure of any examination up to the next 6-7 years.
