Explore your options

It is that crucial time in a student’s life, the time to decide what to do after the SSC results that were released on Friday. While some students have already decided what stream to select, there are still many who are still confused. 

However, it isn’t time to be disheartened. Each stream — Arts, Science and Commerce, have a lot of lucrative careers to offer. Today, students can not only select from the range of well known careers like medicine, engineering, chartered accountancy and the like, but also have off-beat options to suit one’s interest and aptitude. Hence, marks aren’t the deciding factor in career selection.

Architecture is one such option which has gained popularity recently. Students from any stream can take up architecture if they have mathematics as a subject in junior college. As people begin to take their style statements seriously, fashion and design also seems a popular choice.

There are also plenty options for those who don’t have creative inclinations. Event management may be a good choice for those with good organisational skills. There are a growing number of companies and people who now want their events to be handled professionally. Experts suggest that students swing into action and take aptitude tests, visit a counsellor and talk to experts in their field of interest before deciding their course of action.

Day two of dna Eduscope 2013 will be held on June 9, 2013 at the Hall of Vision, Nehru Centre, Worli. It will feature a range of sessions by industry experts on architecture, fashion and design, event management and management education.

Students who register for an online aptitude test at www.careerfundas.com will  have free personalised counselling sessions (Use coupon code DNAEDUSCOPE to avail the offer).
