Student Question

What is career counselling and when should a student take it?

Career counselling helps students understand their interests, aptitude, personality, academic record and career options. It is useful in Class 9 and 10 for stream choice, Class 11 and 12 for course and entrance planning, and college years for specialization and employability planning. Good counselling should explain options instead of forcing one fixed answer.
