Hi Sir, I wanted to know as to what all proactive steps that can be looked upon while my son has just started with his btech CS First year. Should we get him enrolled into CDAC learning, any additional inputs from you that can make him stand out giving him a great niche and edge ? What all are those ? Also alike to how coaching classes are ther until 12th class l, are there btech engineering coaching classes options as well in case of Pune City from where he is pursuing his btech (from MIT AOE) and we are also settled too.

Ans: Do encourage your son to focus on classwork, projects and excel. In case he has difficulty he can consult his teachers, peers. Work in the library. Additional tuitions can often become crutches. I would discourage tuitions. He can undertake additional courses from NPTEL, Coursera. he should participate in Hackathons, projects that get him to apply his knowledge.

Respected Sir, My son had scored around 93.5 percentile in JEE Mains & 196 in BITSAT in 1st attempt although appearing in June attemt too. He was not with full gear or in full form during preparation as only managed to cover course @85-90% syllabus & unable to with mock tests & PYQ or any sincere preparation since Feb'24. He scored 86.75% in CISCE & is now appearing in improvement examination around 1st/2nd week of this July, hopefully will bring it to around 95%. He is willing to & all set for preparation during drop year for admission in top 5/7 IIT'S MBDKK/GH or BITSAT for PGH. What is your sincere advise for this or drop year to him & for his preparation. Should he look in to other institution or courses as is only interested for CSE, M&C, ECE with AI, ML, DS, Cyber etc. only. He got ECE with AI&ML @ VIT,Villore Campus & CS with AI from Scaler School of Technology Bangalore. Both offers may end in couple of days although filled forms for CMI, IISER, NISER, NFSU-Cyber Security, ICSI Jadhavpur but unappeared in CMI & IISER & appeared for COMEDK & MAH-CET for now as results awaited & coming on 7th or a week time. Your Blessings RediffGurus. We extremely require your very sincere advise may proof tobe career journey to our son's future. Thanks & Regards
Ans: Hello Sir
if your son has scored this without any prep then he must be having a sharp mind. I don't know why board improvement? His score is decent.
Regarding drop, if he is confident that he can crack JEE-ADV with good rank & get a 99 %ile in mains then it is worth a try.
