Why Career Counseling
Career decision is easily the most important decision in any student’s life. Career one pursues affects almost every aspect of life of an individual. Needless to say the way career decisions are taken by majority is highly unscientific and chances of success are like rolling a dice.
We at The Career Quest completely transform this decision making from random to process oriented; from trend based to student oriented; from dream based to reality driven. We are involved in scientific counseling of students of class VIII to XII on various career needs. The entire guidance process is driven by assessing students Interest, Aptitude & Personality. That becomes possible by Psychometric Tests. These tests are based on scientific theories propagated by world renowned scientists, designed by experts and are properly validated & standardized.
