in micro sense, it would be a straight line whereas in the macro sense, it would be a two dimensional circle.

WHAT WE SEE MAY NOT BE TRUE ALWAYS, BUT ALL IT MATTERS IS - WHAT WE ASSUME AFTER SEEING.

In the recent years, there has been a trend among parents / guardians of Nepal sending their wards to India, the popular choice being south india (Andra Pradesh, Karnataka and Chennai) for 10+2 and Kota or Delhi for Coaching for studies and I was no exception. These are few reasons to this as I have observed:

Quality education is available in metro city like Kathmandu, etc where the cost of education and cost of living is high.
Lack of exposure about competitive exams and opportunities beyond studies.
Student's tendency to get runied by city glitter and maximum freedom with the spoilt brats around.

Primarily what I have found is, the course standards of Nepal till class XII is in par or better than that of Indian course. But, yet for who are actually thinking of sending their wards to India for 10+2, I would recommend 10+2 in CBSE board as a must, reason being, the course and the pattern of exam is closely matching with Nepal board's HSEB against India's state board which matches with Intermediate course in Nepal. You should be aware of the difference between Intermediate and HSED 10+2.

The trend in India is to persue any PUC (Pre University College) as they call it for Intermediate course as a secondary option and all they concentrate for 2 years on the entrance preparation by joining coaching centers. One of the popular choices being Kota, Rajasthan. Students prepare for 2 years for entrance, get a good first division or distinction in PUC and secure a seat in entrance exams for professional course like Engineering / Medicine in first or more attempts. so, here again, I will contradict with the trend in Nepal and recommend to admit your ward in a good coaching institution and let him write 10+2 exam on self preparation, so that on completion of 2yrs, though he may not have secured a 90-95 % in marks, but his chances of clearing an entrance exam is high.

There is one more catch to where to admit ward to. The student should be able to compete in Nepal entrance tests as well as India's entrance tests. IIT-JEE and AIEEE being the top entrance test for engineering and similarly, AIIMS and AIPMT being the top entrance exam for medical for the natian wide premier colleges. Then comes the state level entrance tests, with certain local quota for state students. This is the catch one can think of.

There must more than lakh of students and 100's of schools and coaching centers (famous among them is, Bansal for Engineering and Allen for Medical).
