Thank you Sir for your valuable feedback. He has started with Maths and Science NCERT textbooks and he likes. He has requested not to change the school till he completes his 10th IGCSE. So I will put him in 11th and 12th integrated school in Mumbai itself close to my residence. Do you recommend any online books for foundation course of JEE, the ones various coaching institutes provide for early starters? If you request you to help us with the link to download the same. Thanks Mehul

Ans: Mehul Sir, First recommended book is HC Verma for Physics of 2-Volumes which has the basic concepts of Physics of JEE that he should be thorough with and it is available online to order. Secondly, you can get any top coaching center materials by joining DLP (Distance Learning Programme) for self-study or with the help of home tutors from 8th itself.

It is suggested to get hard copies of Coaching Materials instead of downloadable ones as Coaching Center Materials contain not only the concepts in detail but also contain good quality questions to practice both offline and online.

One important point which I forgot to add in my initial answer to you Sir i.e. It is good to prepare well for JEE, but instead of relying only on JEE Exam, your son should also appear in 5-7 Entrance Exams as back-ups to have a lot of options open for him to decide the best and most suitable one. All the BEST Sir.

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.

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: Mehul Sir,

Thoroughly read your question Sir. Here-below are some Options / Important Suggestions & Why?:

Option-1

After he finishes his 8th Standard, you can get admission for him into any CBSE-School (or) Maharashtra State Board School which also has an integrated Program.

As far as I know, there are very less number of CBSE Schools. If you can get into any CBSE School, well and good.

If he joins any State Board Integrated School from the 9th itself, it is highly recommended to thoroughly go through the NCERT Books of 9th to 12th Standards which is most important for JEE preparation.

It is preferable to start early for JEE (from 9th standard to cover NCERT basic concepts), but not mandatory.

Option-2

If you decide NOT to discontinue from IGCSE till 10th standard, you will have to put him in any JEE-Integrated School for 11th/12th Standard.

However, it is advisable to go through the NCERT books of 9th/10th, whenever time permits for your son as the quantity of subjects/syllabus of IGCSE will be more, compared to CBSE.

Option-3

As you prefer Home Tutors, please note, highly experienced Home Tutors (especially for JEE-Advanced preparation) charge on hourly-basis and depending upon the subject (for example, tuition fee for Maths will be higher, compared to Physics & Chemistry).

Please choose the best option, suitable for you/for your son out of the above 3-options.

Some other value-added tips:

1) Please give more importance to Maths, followed by Physics, as JEE Rank is allotted on the basis of highest marks in Maths.
2) If you prefer an Integrated Program, make sure the School/Integrated Class is not too far from your home. Travel consumes/wastes lot of your valuable time.
3) For other PRACTICAL Strategies / Steps / Tips, please go through some of my answers below, related to JEE preparation.

All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.

Question by Sindhu - Jul 10, 2025Hindi

Career

Hlo sir my brother got 26314 rank in jee main our cast is obc till not seat is not alloted 4 rounds was completed will he get seat or not

Ans: Sindhu, A 26,314 OBC-NCL rank in JEE Main typically falls short for core CSE and ECE at top NITs, where closing ranks range from 1,500–12,000. However, it aligns with civil engineering cutoffs at newer NITs (Uttarakhand OBC closing ~53,260; Puducherry ~51,743; Agartala ~73,830) and many GFTIs where OBC-NCL closing ranks span 32,384–40,766. Essential institutional factors include NAAC/NBA accreditation, NIRF ranking, modern laboratories and research centres, robust industry partnerships for internships, and historical placement consistency. Considering these, your brother can secure a seat in civil or less-sought NIT branches, or in GFTIs, ensuring quality infrastructure and acceptable placement prospects (if your brother has filled in these choices too in JoSAA).

Final recommendation: Given strong accreditation, infrastructure, and placement records, the recommendation is to target Civil Engineering at NIT Uttarakhand or NIT Puducherry or appropriate GFTIs; parallelly explore state-level counselling for specialized or regional institutes with similar OBC cutoffs. (Advise your brother to participate in the CSAB Round also with realistic expectations based on his Rank). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
