Why Indian students struggle to choose the right career?

The wrong advice at the wrong time

"The school counsellor gave us twenty minutes and a pamphlet. That was it."

"Everyone gave advice based on their own career. Nobody asked my child what she actually enjoys."

"I don't want to be the parent who did nothing until the Class 10 results arrived and then panicked."

Career Guidance | 10+ years guiding Indian students

A mentor with no agenda.

Who guides you through this?

Niraj Deobhankar

Niraj has spent 15 years on every side of the career decision — as a researcher at BARC, in HiTech corporate sales, as a founder who ran an EdTech company for seven years, and inside university admissions in France.

He has seen what happens when young people make this choice with honest support — and what happens when they do not.

He has no commission relationship with any college or course your child chooses. The fee you pay is the only fee.

"I have sat on both sides of this table. That is not a credential I list on a brochure. It is the reason my read of your child's profile is different."

Career assessment and counselling sessions for Indian students

Not just a test. A process of honest self-discovery.

Most career tests produce a label your child reads, nods at, and forgets.

On the other hand, our assessment maps interests across 900+ career pathways.

But that report is not the answer. It is just a conversation starter. Ultimately, we help your child figure out their careers.

The first conversation

Niraj listens first. Then asks the questions nobody else asks.

What others ask

  • What stream are you interested in?
  • What are your marks?
  • What does your family prefer?

What Niraj asks

  • Which career options have you considered?
  • What do you enjoy doing when nobody is watching?
  • What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

The assessment

A mirror, not a verdict

The results are held up as a mirror. Niraj interprets what the scores mean — then asks your child what they recognise in themselves.

Self-introspection

What do they actually want to become?

What does your child desire? And do they understand what that means in practice?

What the student says

“I want to be an IAS officer.”

Drawn to authority, respect, and impact.

What does the introspection reveal?

An IAS officer is on call 24 hours. Answerable to dozens. Rarely sleeps well during crises.

Are those qualities genuinely present?

"My daughter came out having said things about herself she had never said in front of us before."

The world outside

What does this career actually look like?

Once the questions from within are clear, the conversation turns outward. Niraj brings an honest, data-driven picture of where this career is headed, what the sector will look like in five years, and whether the forces shaping it work in your child’s favour.

Reality check – Data Science

What it requires

  • Strong mathematical reasoning
  • Comfort with ambiguous problems
  • Independent, sustained focus
  • A master’s is typically required

Does Ananya’s profile fit?

A direction they own,

not one they were given

The conclusion is not handed to your child. It emerges from the conversation. A primary career direction and considered fallbacks, both arrived at through honest self-examination. Because it came from within, it holds under pressure.

Before

“I don’t know what to do. Everyone has an opinion.”

After

“This is what I want — and I can tell you exactly why.”

"For the first time, the choice felt like ours. Not the neighbour's. Not the school's."

The path forward

clarity with a plan

Finally, we turn toward action, the specific courses, skills, and steps that lead toward the chosen profession. A roadmap your child can follow and return to.

Primary direction

Data Science

B.Sc. Statistics → M.Sc. Data Science

Backup path

Market Research

BMS → MBA Marketing Analytics

Career guidance for school students - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Before you decide.

Results arrive in three weeks. Is it too late?

No. A single session reframes the decision, giving your family a way to evaluate options beyond rankings and peer comparison. Urgency makes the session more focused, not less useful.

Is this a coaching class? Will my child be told what to do?

No to both. The session creates the conditions for your child to say what they actually want, often for the first time. The guidance makes the choice informed. The choice remains theirs.

How is this different from a free online career test?

A free test produces a label. A structured session produces a conversation in which results are interpreted in the context of your child’s real context. The test is the starting point. The conversation is the product.

Do you earn commission from colleges you recommend?

No. No referral relationships with any institution. The fee you pay is the only fee. An advisor who earns from your child’s application cannot tell you honestly whether that application makes sense.

Can we start small and upgrade later?

Yes. Start with Assess and move to Advise or Act at any point, paying only the difference.
