In the traditional gurukul system, the students were mentored and guided by their gurus who took these pupils in their custody for a considerable number of years and hence was responsible for acquisition of moral and ethical values as well as intellectual growth. In the contemporary world once the euphoria of exams sets in, professional experts engage with the student community to help them realise their true potential. In addition, career counselling helps students develop goal-setting and with planning skills. Counsellors guide them in setting short-term and long-term goals and planning steps to achieve them. This structured approach builds clarity, motivation, and discipline. The parent - school partnership at BHS-Mukundapur is sacrosanct and we organise group counselling as well as individual counselling for students before they make their choice of stream. Students take various tests, primarily psychometric ones, to assess aptitude , interests, personality, intelligence, and learning styles, helping students find suitable academic paths and careers by matching their inherent traits with educational requirements. Career counselling is the genesis of discovering excellence at Birla High School Mukundapur In conclusion, career counselling is an essential support system for students. It empowers them to make informed, confident, and realistic career choices. By focusing on self-awareness, guidance, and planning, career counselling helps students build a successful career and achieve personal satisfaction in life.
