My cousin sister, in 10th grade, is good at Physics, Chemistry, and Math. I'm advising her to pursue engineering through MHT-CET rather than IIT prep. The MHT-CET route allows her to join a good government college, build practical skills, and find a job more quickly, while IIT is more intense and time-consuming. I believe CET is a better option, balancing affordability and career growth. Any thoughts on this approach?

Find a job how? College placements happen? And how can Govt College be better than IIT for career growth?🤷‍♂️
Also, I think now all India wide colleges take through common exam, so it doesn’t make any sense ignoring that and going for state specific exam.

Yeah right placements at a govt college are a lot better than at an IIT. People are utter fools for preparing for IIT.

Also, just like the rest of your post, you are right when you say “IIT is time consuming”, after all everyone knows that a BTech at IIT is of 8 years whereas at a govt college it’s only for 4 years.

Someone who themselves didn’t get into an IIT have no business persuading others to drop IIT prep, even as a “cousin brother”. I am sure if your cousin wants it herself and is capable, she will prepare and get into an IIT regardless of what others around her say.

Hopefully my first statement makes it pretty clear I chose to ignore “without life” and “12 hours”.
