Career Orientation Session for Final Year Students

             

Robert Frost, in his famous poem, “The Road Not Taken”, talks of two roads diverged in the woods, and how he can’t leave his trails on both .Similarly, degree students are at the crossroads with no idea on which way to turn after they have earned a bachelor’s degree- whether they should pursue postgraduate studies or enter the workforce. It's about choosing their future career/life. Choosing the right post graduate course and college is a crucial step in chalking the career plan. The problem is there are numerous possibilities open for students and persuasions come in from all directions, hence making a choice for a student is a challenging task. Therefore, it is wise to look at the pros and cons on both sides so that one can make the best decision.

The best way to figure out whether one should go for higher studies or start doing a job right after one’s graduation is by talking to experts like seniors and career counsellors. To refine their thought process and help students who are in a dilemma, a career orientation session was conducted for final year BCom and BBA students on 5 Apr’19 from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm in Room G-07A.
