Conventional methods are more powerful than Digital Media, Just you need to start early.
According to IIT-JEE website, Sahal Kaushik from Delhi was the youngest person to have cracked the exam in 2010 at the age of 14
Have you ever get a chance to speak with such child?
They are not always gifted. Only thing, they starts early. Once I happened to speak with a gold medalist in Class 12, and I got surprised to know, she had completed Class 9th syllabus while she was in Class 6th.
We as parent always attract towards the things which are lucrative like Digital Courses, Digital Medias etc. without giving much thought to it and it's pros and cons. But believe me if you adopt scientific approach for your child in making him understand the things from 5th standard, he/she could do miracle in their life.
These digital media people are making money for themselves. They are making a knowledge ecosystem in such a way that children are unable to think beyond that. A book will do more miracle.
Most of the digital medias and videos that are available are doing harm to children than benefit. Just talk with them once, you will understand. A child reading books are happen to refer to reference material more than any child who use digital media.
Just think, when we used to have rolls in camera, we used to click 32 pictures, got them developed and we still have those albums. But now we are clicking 1000s, unable to kept safe, loosing them in memory crash or storing them in cloud where we never referred them again. Ironical!!!
Give notebook and pen to child and believe me, he/she will do miracle.
A child capability is much more than that. Allow them to read, understand, learn and apply.
Just use more scientific approach to make them understand what they are good at and how they could select their career more scientifically.
Below is the paper from Standard where they developed a method for choosing career more scientifically.

Try to understand the need of time. Just money can't buy them good knowledge. Parents devoting time with them to understand what they need, sometimes do miracle.
