Career choices can be daunting! Get the right perspective from the right people. The Hindu is back with its annual career counselling and guidance sessions to lend a helping hand to students.
Head to the nearest venue of our free counselling sessions to have your doubts cleared from the experts.
From subject experts who will tell you the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of the courses that interest you, to officials of examination-conducting bodies who will guide you through the counselling and seat allotment process, The Hindu EducationPlus Career Counselling 2015 will be your one-stop shop for career-related queries. The counselling sessions will be held in 11 centres.
Like every year, officials of the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) and the Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMED-K) will make presentations and answering queries on the counselling process for students who have written the Common Entrance Test and/or the Undergraduate Entrance Test.
In addition, general education experts and subject experts from medicine and engineering will be accessible to students to gain clarity on the options available in these streams.
