Creating a Counseling Environment in the School
Career Fair - Futuristic Interface
The Futuristic Interface was an informative event to learn more about the colleges that the students are interested in and talk to the people with the first-hand experience. The students discovered new colleges that were not on their radar, are able to narrow down their shortlist, find out more about scholarships, save money to visit each campus, etc.

Career Workshop - Choices of Streams, Subjects & Careers
Students generally are in a dilemma concerning the co-relations between subjects and careers. Many students believe that what they’re studying doesn’t necessarily have something to do with the career that they have picked. We want to help students realize that this is in fact, not the case. The session would be for about an hour and conducted for students of class 9 & 10. During this session, students would understand what streams they can consider selecting after they complete their class 10. This session would also give them an insight into the kind of subject combination required and the careers that they can consider pursuing the chosen subjects in class 11 & 12. The presentation will cover streams in Sciences, Commerce, and Humanities. In addition, it also guides students on the different tools that they can use to assess their aptitude and interests and based on that can take a well-informed decision about future career prospects.

This includes many top colleges of Delhi University, Mumbai University and other central & Government universities.

Career Workshop - A Winning College Admission Plan
4 years of hard work throughout grade 9-12 infers to one thing – successful college admissions. Students are stressed to perform well in academics, excel in extracurricular, build their resume, and certify their talents all for one reason – college admissions. But do they make a systematic plan for college admissions? What is a systematic college admission plan? How can students make their own customized plan? Where can they get help? How can they measure their success? This is one of the sessions, where they would understand the benefit of their school supporting them in planning successful admissions through an established counseling system.

Career Workshop - Career selection: What needs to be your Groundwork?
Informed Decision is synonymous to Correct Decision. Laying hands on the right information for a correct career choice starts early. There are myriad of wrong impressions of career options that our students are prone to. Talking to them about the importance of research and what constitutes the right kind of career exploration, early on, just makes it easier for them to demarcate and move in the right direction. The session does not aim to inform the students about new career options but aims at making them understand the importance of the right kind of research and how should they do it.
