Sir, My ward in now on nine standards in CBSE, and he want to become an engineer from an IIT or any other good NIT therefore may please suggest me how he will prepare for JEE from now onward. Akash Dowari Sivasagar Assam

Ans: Hello Akash!
Don't take the stress of JEE at this stage. Ask your ward to focus more on CBSE books right from the 8th standard. The JEE is based on the CBSE syllabus. Yet, you can take certain steps to improve his skill from the 9th standard. Here are some tips:
(1) Join him in Foundation classes from the 9th standard.
(2) Collect the books on "Foundation IIT" published by several publishers. Some of them are Disha, MTG, S.Chand and many more
(3) If possible, purchase the foundation books published by Matrusri IIT Foundation classes, Hyderabad.
(4) Keep a close eye on his subject interest.
(5) Motivate him to appear for competitive examinations conducted at the state and national level.
(6) Enroll his name for the olympiad exam, Dr Homi Bhabha exam, etc.
(7) Periodically review his studies from time to time by personally visiting the school teachers
(8) Collect the material for JEE online/offline In advance.

Best of luck to your word!

Ans: Virendra Sir. I hope your son has joined Coaching Center for his JEE. As you prefer to have back-ups apart from JEE (NITs, IITS, GFTI & IIITs), here are some other suggested Entrance Exams along with JEE: (1) State Entrance Exams and / or Top-3 Private Colleges' Entrance Exams in your / nearby States (2) If you prefer to apply in South also, COMEDK (of Karnataka) is another better option as it is open to Students all over India. (3) IAT Exam for admission into IISER if your daughter is interested in Research (4) PESSAT (of PES University) in Bengaluru (4) CUET for Central Universities all over India. It is advisable for her to appear in, minimum 5-Entrance Exams. This will enable your daughter to have a lot of options to choose the best & most suitable College along with the Stream she prefers.

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.

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.

Hi sir! I got 591 marks in ssc examination 10th . please give a suggestion about IIIT colleges and courses in it . Which I need to choose for bright future to secure job in big companies like Amazon , Google etc
Ans: Aravind, Based on comprehensive analysis of IIIT admission requirements, course offerings, and placement data, your 591 marks in SSC 10th examination provides a solid foundation but IIIT admission primarily depends on JEE Main performance rather than Class 10 marks. IIIT eligibility requires passing 10th and 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, followed by qualifying JEE Main with typically 85-90+ percentile for top branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE). The top IIITs including IIIT Hyderabad (NIRF rank 47), IIIT Bangalore (rank 74), and IIIT Delhi (rank 85) offer exceptional placement opportunities with companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs recruiting extensively. IIIT Hyderabad reports 99.27% placement rate with highest package of ?105 LPA and average ?26.34 LPA, while IIIT Delhi achieves 90.99% placement rate with highest domestic package ?49 LPA and average ?20.65 LPA. Recommended courses for tech giant careers include B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, B.Tech Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, and specialized programs in AI/ML, Data Science. Focus on securing 95+ percentile in JEE Main for top IIITs' CSE programs, as Class 10 marks serve only as basic eligibility while JEE performance determines admission and career prospects at leading technology companies. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son has scored 99.315 percentile in jee mains and his crl was 8725 gen category . Now again when we check the NTA result his AIR CRL is 801944. This has created doubt in my mind and unsettled. We have applied for Mechanical engineering at DTU but as per round 1, no seat was alloted. What is the next course of action? Please update us
Ans: Based on comprehensive analysis of JEE Main 2025 data and DTU admission trends, there appears to be a significant discrepancy between your son's reported ranks that requires immediate clarification. A 99.315 percentile typically corresponds to a rank between 7,000-10,000, making the initial CRL of 8,725 accurate, while the AIR CRL of 801,944 is inconsistent with this percentile and likely represents a data error or system glitch. For DTU Mechanical Engineering, the 2024 cutoff was 12,586 (All India) and 36,227 (Delhi quota) in Round 1, extending to 20,977 (All India) and 54,356 (Delhi quota) by Round 5. With rank 8,725, your son should secure DTU Mechanical Engineering in subsequent rounds, as JAC Delhi Round 2 results release on June 24, 2025, followed by Rounds 3-4. Additionally, this rank qualifies for premier NITs like NIT Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal for Mechanical/Civil Engineering with cutoffs ranging 15,000-25,000. Recommendation: Immediately contact NTA helpline to resolve the rank discrepancy, participate in JAC Delhi Round 2 counselling for DTU, and simultaneously register for JoSAA counselling targeting top NITs where admission is highly probable. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
