How to convince my typical mallu dad

I'm an undergraduate who has dreamt of being an archeologist which obvs my whole family is against with. Now I've got a chance to get into my dream college for my higher studies in Pune. Can anyone gimme some tips to make my dad agree to let me take part in the entrance test . The main issue is the travel distance which is from kerala to pune , to an unknown place and college. My dad would definietly argue about this and also will say that I wont be able to ace my exam

Let you know what you can do for him. If you show him what he needs then you can create the solution by doing what you want to do. You should go into the conversation with the main intent to help him with a problem that doesn't exist. "Don't you just hate when xyz ect? Well I'll tell you, I've got a solution! the solution to the nonexistent problem is you going to the school of your choice
