Hello sir! the first thing i would recommend is that you get him admitted in CBSE board. right now take no tension and ask him to concentrated on his basics. If his concepts and basics are clear he can solve any problem. then the next important thing would be his coaching. look out for the institutes which produces maximum IITians and please verify them. the best books would be H.C. verma for physics and arihant for maths! for any further queries, you can mail me at "stormyboy26592@yahoo.com". Best of luck!

hi Varun,
thanks for the prompt answer.
As there is no CBSE school in my town, I gave him CBSE science and maths books from Schand publication. and I make sure that he reads everthing and solve  every problem  in the book.
now I am looking for additional  material which will help him in clearing the concepts  and  train him for the  hard work ahead.
regarding coaching , all i could understand so far is coaching is availble after appearing X exam.
please tell me if H.C. verma for physics and arihant for maths are to be used afeter X
warm regards

MAY BE IM GIVING U A QUITE LATE REPLY BUT IT MAY BE  VERY USEFUL FOR U.
 
iitjee is an institute in which only the passout students(i.e xii pass) can appear.it will be veru useless to make ur son prepare for such a tough examination like CAT for any student belonging to x class or lower.
 
however special jee coaching are being conducted in almost every parts of india for xi n xii class.
 
exception----- an coaching institute designed specially for jee preparation for x class is VMC--Vidyamandir Classes.it may be the only insti that prepares x class stnds also for jee.
 
important tip----- 20% course and approx 80% basics are useful in jee from the syllabus of x class.
so let him start preparing for jee in x class but after his full preparation for boards that are much of neccissity..
 
u can always querry me just type and send me

thanks Punit,
my son is in VIII of maharastra board and I heard that if student attemps for IIT JEE from maharastra board then it is quite difficult.
so what I have asked him to self-study the VIII std maths and science books from Schand publication.
at the moment I am not interested in the IIT JEE material but to build basics and inculcate the habit of self study -- the attribute I thought might be helpful.
Now what help I am looking from forum members is if there are some books or problem sets which can help in sharpening the basics .

thanks a lot

Dear Sir,
  It is a delight to see your vision for your son towards IIT and its preparation therein. I cleared my IIT JEE in 1997 along with other important entrance examinations with good ranks in all of them.

  The key to IIT is clarity of concepts and the sharpness of the student in terms of solving a particular problem.

  What is important to cultivate is a vision for any given concept or problem. The student must be able to visualize and appreciate the underlying beauty, simplicity, and symmetry of mathematical derivations of formulae. He/she should know definitions of fundamental entities like mass, weight, mole, molar heat, electric potential, etc., which are only a few to name. Once the child knows what defines a fundamental quantity or concept, and grows by virtue of self reading and self problem-solving, then I think he/she is on the right track.

  My advice to you is to let your son grow his skill in science/maths as well as English and other subjects at his level. Give him a vision of IIT and what it takes to get there. The desire to get in there should start coming from within himself and once he knows what he wants, course materials and other things will start making more and more sense after class X.

  Let me remind you that Xth Board examinations are very very important because this is the first big platform where you prove yourself and instill confidence for any entrance preparation to follow.

  Let's come to the point regarding books and material that you have emphasized upon. Precure NCERT books for class VIII and maybe class IX at the present moment. But motivate him to try the problems unceasingly until he has given his best shot to solve them, even if it involves trying several times. The confidence it instills in a student is remarkable.

  I wish you all the luck and hard work (parents can make a lot of difference at home by creating a conducive environment for study and games hand in hand).
Once your son starts appreciating science and scientific principles, he is sure to make his way to the top shot institutes of the country.

Please revert if you want to discuss more, maybe as a separate query.

All the Best.

Sir,
    I am from Maharashtra and faced the same problem in my lower classes. i think you should let your son appear in exams like NTS,  MTS(Maharashtra Talent Search), NSTSE, Abacus Vision, NSO, etc. because study for such competitive exams sharpens one's mind, takes you deeper into the subjects and most important, makes one comfortable in solving multiple choice questions, which are the base for most of the future exams. BT has a n IIT preparation course for 9th and 10th. Most important- Let your son enjoy science and know its subtleness which will always remain with him.

Thanks everybody for your suggestion .
I will do accordingly
Basically what I am looking for is to give him some difficult material based on school study concepts. So that he gets in the habit of attempting some difficult problems

regards
