Question by Siddiqui on Sep 08, 2024Hindi

She is telanted girl, My daughter, choses PCBM for higher secondry as she wanted to pursue jee. But as she is enrolled in IB school in. mp not sure about her choice. Should she needs to change school that offers cbse curriculum or go foe additional lear ing support like on line coachings apart from her regular school classes. Aldo she worries, is she doesn't score well in competition exams what would be her further ootions be like in abroad or inboard education.

Ans: For JEE, Siddiqui Sir, she should go to a CBSE school instead of an IB school because IB is too strict and she can't study for JEE and other engineering entrance exams there. Also, getting a good Percentile or Rank in the Engineering Entrances is necessary to get into any well-known college. When you pick out a CBSE school and teaching center for her, make sure it's not too far from her house and that the fees are reasonable for you. How well her online coaching classes work will depend on how motivated, dedicated, and smart she is when she studies (as you have mentioned she is a talented girl, this should not be a problem). If it's possible, you can even try to get into a UG program abroad by studying for the SAT. This shouldn't be too hard for her since she already has an IB degree. Please talk to your daughter about what she wants. And you should make your choice at least one year ahead of time, before she finishes 12th grade. Value addition information: She should appear for 5-7 entrance exams after 12th to have multiple options to choose the best among them. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.
