Our activities mainly are:
Career awareness: which involves choice of subject selection in class 8 and 10.
Interface in smaller groups: We make them aware of the numerous options and then narrow down choices to 3-4, to eliminate
the confusion factor. This is based on family background, financial background, area of interest, limitations. At this stage we also
discuss job opportunities and other combination careers possible.
We serve as a channel of information: From our huge database we impart information like

 

The cut off marks/ entrance exam requirements to get admission into the related course.
List of colleges and universities in Calcutta, India and abroad.
Study support provided by different centers for pursuing the related courses.
Goal setting stepwise guide - how to proceed and prepare from now.

 

We invite resource persons from prestigious institutions to share their experience, knowledge and professional know-how with the students, which will help in facilitating conscious decision-making.
Members of the Career Cell regularly attend seminars and workshops held by institutions in order to upgrade themselves of latest options. Students are also informed about educational fairs and seminars so that they can attend them if they wish to.
