Choosing a career is an important task, It may not be easy to decide what type of job will be the best fit and since career counselling helps students to assess their skills, needs and desires in order to find a career that works for them, this type of counselling is considered to be an important step to take before deciding on a permanent career.

Students have a lot of decisions to make while they are in college. These range from which courses to take up apart from their core subjects, to deciding which internships would benefit their career. As a matter of fact, almost every other choice that a student makes in college revolves around his/her plans after college, be it studying further or taking up a job. Deciding what to do after college has a significant impact on your immediate future as well as long term goals. This decision gets difficult because there are several factors that impact it, such as interests, costs, opportunities etc.

Career counselling plays a pivotal role to ensure that students don’t make a wrong decision at this crucial juncture in their life.
