“It is most important for students to choose the right profession that suits their interests,” principal of GM Institute of Technology P. Prakash has said.

Speaking after inaugurating The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling session at Kuvempu Kannada Bhavan at Vidya Nagar here on Sunday, he said that instead of choosing a course under pressure from parents and the influence of friends, students should opt for a course that suited their interests and attitude. “Students can achieve complete success in their careers only if they choose study courses that suit their interests,” he added.

“Apart from choosing the right courses under the guidance of parents, students should have good social behaviour and social responsibility as they can be successful only when they possess good behaviour and [are] in good company. It is the responsibility of parents to keep constant vigil on their wards’ friends circle as there are possibilities that children may cultivate bad habits when in bad company,” he said.

Prof. Prakash also emphasised the need for students to have a disciplined approach towards their studies to pass exams with flying colours.

Principal of Basaveshawara Medical College and Hospital, Chitradurga, Narayan Murthy enlightened students on the different aspects of National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) and said that it was mandatory for all government colleges to take admissions only through NEET and from next year, it may become mandatory for private colleges also.

Elaborating on the opportunities in pure sciences, L.K. Sripathy of JNNC College of Engineering asked parents and students not to focus only on engineering and medical streams as there were a lot of scope for basic sciences.

“In future, the demand for courses in basic sciences would increase wherein students can make a very good career,” he said.

CET Coordinator Niranjan spoke in detail about CET documentation and procedures that should be followed to get seats allotted depending on CET rankings.

Education Counsellor from CIGMA Foundation Syed Aejaz Ahmed asked students not to develop herd mentality while making career decisions.

Along with these resource persons, Principal of Government Engineering College K.B. Prakash clarified the doubts of participants on various aspects concerning professional education during the subsequent interaction.
