(A Guide for School Principals & Educators in Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi & Mumbai)

In today’s rapidly changing world, helping students choose the right career path has become one of the biggest responsibilities of every school. The traditional approach—waiting until Class 12 to think about careers—is no longer relevant. With new-age careers, global competition, and evolving skill demands, students need structured career counselling from as early as Grade 8, as recommended by India’s National Education Policy (NEP 2020).

Yet, in many schools across major Indian cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Mumbai, career guidance still happens informally—through teachers, relatives, or internet searches.
This often leads to confusion, pressure, and misalignment, resulting in students making choices that do not match their personality or strengths.

This is where scientific, school-integrated career counselling becomes essential.

Why Career Counselling Is Critical in Indian Schools

1. NEP 2020 Requires Schools to Offer Structured Career Guidance

The National Education Policy clearly emphasizes:

• Early exposure to career options

• Identifying individual strengths

• Reducing stress through informed decision-making

• Helping students choose streams aligned with their abilities

Schools that implement NEP-compliant career counselling not only support student well-being but also establish themselves as progressive and future-ready institutions.

What Happens When Schools Do NOT Provide Career Counselling?

Without proper guidance, students often:

• Choose subjects because their friends chose them

• Follow the “trend jobs” without self-awareness

• Feel pressured by parents’ expectations

• Enroll in courses they later regret

• Drop out, switch streams, or feel stuck

• End up in careers that drain their interest and confidence

These outcomes impact not just students, but also parents, teachers, and the reputation of the school.

Why Parents Today Need the School’s Help More Than Ever

Most parents—especially in big cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi & Mumbai—are:

• Busy

• Overwhelmed by too many choices

• Influenced by social pressure

• Relying on outdated information

They want the best for their children but often don’t know how to guide them.
Schools that offer professional career counselling become parents’ most trusted partners.

Every Student Is Unique — So Their Career Path Must Be Too

Two students with the same marks may have:

• Different personalities

• Different learning styles

• Different abilities

• Different values

• Different motivators

A one-size-fits-all approach does not work.

This is why psychometric-based career counselling is the most accurate way to help students understand:

• Who they are

• How they think

• What they enjoy

• Where they fit naturally

The Power of 5D Psychometric Assessment by NuSkillz 

NuSkillz uses one of India’s most comprehensive assessments — the 5D Psychometric Career Assessment, designed specifically for students from Classes 8 to 12.

It accurately measures:
1️⃣ Personality
2️⃣ Interests
3️⃣ Cognitive abilities (logical, verbal, numerical)
4️⃣ Motivation & work values
5️⃣ Learning and behavioural patterns

The result is a clear, personalized career roadmap that helps students choose:

• The right academic stream

• Suitable undergraduate programs

• Future-ready career options

No guesswork. Only clarity.
