?In India, where the academic and professional landscape is highly competitive, early career counselling can be a game-changer. It helps students understand their unique strengths and interests, aligning them with the right career paths. This not only aids in making informed career choices but also enhances decision-making skills, builds confidence, and fosters emotional intelligence.?

Common Mistakes After 10th Grade? ?

After completing their 10th standard, Indian students often face the challenging task of choosing their stream. Common mistakes include:?

??

• Following Peers: Many choose streams based on friends' choices, neglecting their own interests and strengths.?
• Parental Pressure: Yielding to family expectations without considering personal passions can lead to dissatisfaction.?
• Overlooking Professional Guidance: Skipping career counselling means missing out on exploring a wide range of career opportunities beyond conventional paths.? ?

Ideal Age for Career Counselling in India? ?

The right time to start career counselling in India is around the ages of 12-14 (around the 8th standard), before students make crucial decisions about their stream post-10th. However, career counselling is a continuous process, particularly important after the 10th and 12th grades, and before entering higher education or vocational courses. Starting early helps in shaping a student’s career path effectively, but it’s never too late to seek guidance at any stage of education or career.?

??

Early and ongoing career counselling can pave the way for a fulfilling academic and professional journey, helping Indian students navigate their choices with confidence and insight.?
