An overwhelming majority of graduates are mostly aware of only seven career options, while there are at least over 250 career paths awaiting students. This makes career counselling key to helping students make an informed choice, said Shivakumaraiah, CEO, Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT), Tumakuru.
He was speaking at the inaugural session of the 21st edition of The Hindu Education plus Career Counselling 2023, which was held at SIT, Tumakuru, on Sunday.
The event saw hundreds of students and their parents participate throughout the day. At least 15 private colleges and educational institutions had put up stalls providing guidance and informing students of the opportunities available to them.
