Ans: Virendra Sir. I hope your son has joined Coaching Center for his JEE.

Hello Rohit - My son is studying in class 12th and is meritorious student. Apart from JEE what engineering colleges entrance exams are available for him?
Ans: Rakesh Sir,

Apart from JEE, there are multiple Entrance Exams your Son can appear in, to get admission into any one of the top-ranked University / College all over India.

It depends upon a number of following factors:

1) His Interest, Aptitude, Attitude, Personality Traits & his Orientation Style.
2) He is interested in which Stream / Branch to build his Career (Computer, IT, Design, Architecture, AI & ML, Aerospace through Indian Institute of Technology, Electronics, Electrical, Civil, BioTech etc.)?
3) If your son is interested to join any one of the top-ranked Private Colleges of your State (or) other States, he can appear for the Entrance Exams of the same.
4) As you have mentioned that he is a meritorious student, getting admission into any one of the reputed University / Institute / College won’t be an issue for you.

Now itself, shortlist around 10-15 reputed University / College and also the Stream / Branch he is interested in.

Know the Admission Process for each University / College and apply in advance.

NO need to prepare separately for each Entrance Exam as he is already preparing for JEE. He should only know the Exam Pattern and attempt previous 10-years Question Papers to boost his confidence.

Hope the above information is helpful to you, Sir, for your Son.

If you need any other clarifications for you or have questions for anyone, post your questions (in detail) to me and/or follow me here in RediffGURU to know more on ‘Careers / Education / Jobs’.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future from RediffGURU.

Ans: you are in duress. a relationship as defined by you is not worth being in one. please break off, block him from all our touchpoints - social media/ phone etc...if need be change your phone number. heal yourself, focus on your self, become financially independent, feel good about yourself before you find your person.
