What next after 12th for your child: MIT or IIT? Here's how you can decide between the two?

f your child is anywhere between 8th standard and 12th standard, you are very likely occupied with thought patterns such as - "IIT Coaching", Percentages in 10th and 12th, SAT Tests, Top Colleges in DU, best global universities, Commerce or Science, Engineer, Doctor, and many more.

We know that you want the best for your child, and also one of the top priorities in your life is to secure a FUTURE for your child.

However, how will you decide? A lot of what you know comes from hearsay, from your own past, and from the aspirations that you created for your child. Is that sufficient? Are you hammering your child enough to make him get the 98 per cent in class 10 and 12?

Every year, thousands of very powerful and capable students with 97 per cent in 12th and good ranks in competitive examinations end up not getting opportunities that you had in mind when you started this journey.

Children get deprived of the opportunities because of supply and demand, and the world gets deprived of their calibre.

How will you optimise this game? MIT or IIT? SRCC or London School of Economics? How will you explore these very different worlds and maximise the chances of success?

Here's how you can make the best future for your child:

Instead of feeding an answer, we want to coach you in understanding how to make the best of the last 4 to 5 years of your child's school life to take him to a stage where he lands on his feet powerfully. Let us get to it right away.

As the first step, we want you to understand the differences between knowledge-based learning and skill-based learning.

Start with building the right plan of attack and focusing on both knowledge and skill-based learning, and explore the best of both the worlds.

While your child is in class 8 or 9, make him see the importance of extra-curricular activities.

Build skill sets that will really matter to the International universities such as MIT, University of Pennsylvania, LSE, NUS, Brown, and many more.

Engaging in extra-curricular activities will hone skills that will stay with him for decades to come, and give him a very rewarding and satisfying career.
