This is the fourth year in succession that the career counselling session is being held here to help and guide students who have passed PU/ Class 12 to select the right kind of course best suited to shape their academic and professional career.
The session will also provide a platform for students and parents to hear and engage face-to-face with key common entrance test (CET) admission officials and subject experts to know about various options available for them.
To guide students through the career process and help them to make an informed choice, The Hindu Education Plus has published a handbook titled ‘The Nxt Step’, a well-researched compilation of various articles written by subject experts in each field, keeping the interest of the students in mind. Students attending the session would be given a copy of the handbook free of cost.
