Our child decided on law fairly recently and we are trying to build a realistic plan. Is weekend coaching enough initially, or did current students need daily practice much earlier? I am especially interested in balancing school tests with mocks.
Please be cautious of any institute promising guaranteed ranks. Speaking to current students gave us a much more realistic picture of workload.
We asked for a sample weekday timetable, not just total coaching hours. Travel, school work and self-study made the real load much clearer. My spouse had a different view initially, so we tried it for a few weeks before deciding.

Same here. The logistics are what make the 'ideal' option difficult in real life. We also kept a backup option so one exam did not feel like the whole future. Your child's response may be different, but this was our experience.
For stream choice, we looked at what the subjects become in Class 11, not only the Class 10 versions. The jump can be quite different. The biggest surprise was that the practical routine mattered more than the option that looked best on paper.

The counsellor was useful only when the session connected interests to concrete courses and next steps. The aptitude report by itself added very little.

Thanks for saying this. Online advice often makes normal family life sound much more organised than it really is. We revisited the plan after a few months instead of treating it as irreversible. We are in Coimbatore, so local logistics may be a little different.

Good to know — thank you for coming back with the detail.
We asked for a sample weekday timetable, not just total coaching hours. Travel, school work and self-study made the real load much clearer. Our child reacted better once we explained the change in advance instead of announcing it on the day. Seeing the actual weekly timetable made the trade-off much clearer.

That is reassuring. We are trying to avoid making this a bigger issue than it needs to be. Seeing the actual weekly timetable made the trade-off much clearer. We made the change gradually rather than all at once.
