Both IIT and TUM Munich are very good in different fields. IITs give greater emphasis to UG studies, and maintains stronger connections in the Indian job market. TUM offers a better research environment and has a better global network. Which one is better depends on what a student is looking for. IIT is great for students interested in a solid career in India. TUM is better for deep research on international roles. Students can expect much higher costs of living in Germany.

1. At what age does your son have to start coaching for IIT?
It has three perfect points of entry, depending on the speed of your child:
- Option A: Enter in Class 11 (Most widespread and not less than enough)
The majority of IIT toppers start coaching when they are in Class 11.
Coaching Class 11 -12 (2-year program) is just sufficient to crack JEE Main and Advanced.
This leaves Class 910 free to construct basics and score highly with the boards.
- Option B: Major in Class 10 (Early foundation - optional)
Beneficial in case your son is interested in physical sciences ahead of his age in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics.

With a JEE Main rank of 88,000 (OBC rank ~21,000), admission to top NITs/IIITs for CSE/IT is unlikely.
Best options:
Lower-tier NITs – Mechanical, Civil, ECE branches.
GFTIs (Government-Funded Technical Institutes) – CSE, ECE, IT possible.
State engineering colleges – Good alternatives with decent infrastructure and placements.
